A few years ago I put a recipe for hot dogs wrapped in pastrami in the magazine for a Chanukah party appetizer. The recipe went wild, and even made it into our cookbook. I love to play off recipes that just work. This recipe is hardly related, but the candied beef fry reminded me of how much fun that hot dog recipe is. Feel free to skip the glazing stage if the sweet and savory thing just doesn’t do it for you. Check out our complete collection of Rosh Hashanah recipes for mains, sides, soups, desserts, and more inspiration for the holiday.
approximately 10 cups chopped romaine or arugula, or a combination
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
handful of crispy fried onions
1 (6-oz./900-g.) package beef fry, fat trimmed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon Gefen Maple Syrup
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup mustard
1/4 cup sugar
2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked Gefen Black Pepper
To caramelize the beef fry, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). Lay out beef fry on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 20 minutes.
When done, pour out fat, flip over, and drizzle with maple syrup while hot. Let cool completely, then crumble into pieces. (This can be made at least a day in advance and stored in a container in the fridge.)
Mix dressing ingredients in a small container. When ready to serve, arrange lettuce, cabbage, cherry tomatoes, and crispy onions in a bowl. Top with caramelized beef fry and drizzle with dressing.

Beef fry Hi! What else can I use instead of beef fry? (I dont think they have that in Israel yet)
Devorah, you can use pastrami instead. Enjoy!
and do the same method?
Yes, the same method!
Matam Chofetz Chaim in Yerushalayim has corned beef ends, which you can cut up and use like beef fry. It’s much cheaper than buying regular sliced meat. Rena
Recipe Accuracy 1/4 cup mustard
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Is this accurate?
Chanie says 1/4 of a cup is correct! Can be yellow or other mustard. Thanks for catching that! We’ve corrected it.
