Instructions
- 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. - 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 until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside. - Cook the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the steak. - Cook the Vegetables:
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. - 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 until everything is well combined and heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. - Assemble the Pineapple Boats:
Spoon the steak and shrimp mixture into the hollowed pineapple halves. - 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!
