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!
