Ingredients

For the Pineapple Boat:

  • 1 large ripe pineapple, halved lengthwise and hollowed out
  • 1/2 lb (225g) steak (such as sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lb (225g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

  1. Prepare the Pineapple:
    • Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise. Use a knife and spoon to carefully hollow out the pineapple halves, leaving about 1/2 inch of flesh along the edges. Chop the removed pineapple flesh into small pieces and set aside.
  2. Cook the Steak:
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or hibachi grill over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Shrimp:
    • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the steak.
  4. Cook the Vegetables:
    • Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
  5. Combine Ingredients:
    • Return the steak and shrimp to the skillet along with the chopped pineapple flesh. Stir in the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until everything is well combined and heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Assemble the Pineapple Boats:
    • Spoon the steak and shrimp mixture into the hollowed pineapple halves.
  7. Garnish and Serve:
    • Top with sliced green onions, chopped fresh cilantro, and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your tropical hibachi-inspired meal!
