Delicious, Hibachi Steak and Salmon are grilled to perfection on a cast iron skillet, then served on a bed of hibachi fried rice just like the kind on the menu at your favorite Japanese steakhouse! Complete your meal with hibachi rice, ginger-carrot salad dressing, and everyone’s favorite Yum Yum sauce!

Surf and turf is my absolute favorite meal, so this meal is a dream come true!

When I was growing up I always wanted Barbecue Ribs on my birthday, but my tastes gradually matured as I got older and Hibachi Steak and Salmon from our local Japanese steakhouse soon became my new favorite…served with Japanese Steakhouse Yum Yum Sauce of course.

Yes, the grilled vegetables are missing from the plate…long story, but they will get their own post in the next few days!

How to make Japanese Hibachi Steak and Salmon

Mix the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl (or large zipper top bag).

Add the steaks and salmon, and allow to marinate for at least 2 hours.

Heat a LARGE cast iron pan/skillet over HIGH heat on the grill. When it is hot, add the oil.

Place the steaks and salmon (flesh side down) on the hot skillet and cook until desired level of doneness.

Salmon: 3 minutes per side depending on thickness
Steak: 6 minutes on the first side, then 4 to 6 on the second side.

Pour the remaining marinade over the steaks and salmon after you flip them over to create a thick glaze.

Allow the steaks to rest, covered with foil, for ten minutes before serving.

I used beef tenderloin and wild caught salmon to create my perfect meal, and it was still cheaper than eating at a Japanese Steakhouse!!

Recipe Notes & Tips

This meal can also be prepared in a skillet on top of the stove, or baked in the oven.
To make this meal Paleo: substitute coconut aminos for the soy sauce, fish sauce for the Worcestershire sauce, and distilled vinegar for the rice wine vinegar…and add salt. Serve with Paleo Shrimp Fried Rice, minus the shrimp.

My Cast Iron Griddle is MIA, so I ended up using my 14″ Cast Iron Pizza Pan instead. Either one works.
