Teppanyaki (Mixed Barbecue)

You could substitute beef rump or sirloin steak for the eye fillet. Teppanyaki is traditionally cooked on a grill plate, on or near the table, and is eaten in batches; a portable electric grill is ideal. You can cook on a grill plate on the stove top or outside barbecue.
