This is a recipe that I recently learned while scuba diving! After we'd done a couple of dives, one of the student diver's husbands had hot, fresh Korean BBQ waiting for us... right off the grill!
Ingredients
1c sugar
1c water
1c soy sauce
4-5 cloves fresh garlic
fresh grated ginger
1/2c chopped green onions / chives
2-3 tbsp sesame oil
1 onion, diced or food-processored
1 lb short ribs, ideally sliced the long way as to eliminate the bones. however any thin sliced beef will do. or other meat for that matter.
combine all ingredients and let the meat marinate in this for 6-24 hours. (I chose to take this camping and put it all in a wide-mouthed, 32oz water bottle) keep chilled while marinating. when time to cook, remove meat from bottle and grill it to medium or however you like it.

Rum Yukka / (original) Yukka
I recently learned of this "tradition"... I've put the original below, but have also tweaked it a bit for my personal tastes.
Rum Yukka
1 handle coconut rum
4-5 large limes or 1 fresh chopped pineapple*
1 cup sugar
ice
sun tea container (1 gallon or so) with dispensing spout
* if fresh pineapple isn't available, or not very juicy, consider using 100% pure chunked pineapple from a can. One 16oz can should work well.
Put the rum and sugar in the container. half the limes, squeeze the juice into the container and toss in the rest of the lime. fill with ice (this should end up filling the container).
Next, take the container around to everyone at the party. have them give the container some shakes. you might wrap the container with a towel, as it will become cold and possibly slippery. after EVERYONE has done their shakes, time to drink! keep shaking to mix well and to help the juice come out of the fruit.
How to drink the Yukka.
Have a server and a recipient. The recipient sits in a chair, head tilted back, mouth open. The server holds the container over their mouth and pushes the dispense spout button. When the recipient's mouth is full or when they don't want anymore, they "tap out" by tapping the server. Consider using the shake towel as the ceremonial Yukka bib incase there is any miscommunication with the tap out.
Enjoy!
