Chef Paul Friedman
Peli Peli
Houston

The menu at Peli Peli, a South African restaurant with three locations in Houston, features a number of grilled meat entrees “from the braai”—the Afrikaans term for a social meeting that includes barbecuing. For his version of espetada, chef Friedman threads beef fillet tips on a long skewer and serves it with stewed carrots, sauteed spinach and roast potatoes. The presentation turns heads as the dish is carried through the restaurant.
 

 

Ingredients

2 oz. center-cut beef fillet tips
Zucchini slices
Red and yellow bell pepper pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste

2. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine butter and garlic; cook over low heat until melted.
