BENIHANA HIBACHI CHATEAUBRIAND

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 cup plus the 2 tsp of butter along with the crushed garlic in a sauce pan. Add parsley, lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Pour into a small container and refrigerate til solid.
• When ready to cook, trim beef tenderloin of unnecessary fat. The tenderloin should be about 1 inch thick, so if it's too thick, pound to flatten.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of prepared butter and coat over the surface of the meat. Season with black pepper.
• Preheat grill. Place the tenderloin on hot grill and sear on each side for about 4 minutes.
• Reduce heat and continue grilling until it reaches the desired doneness. Remove from grill and slice into 1/2 inch thick slices. Serve garnished with watercress and the butter mixture.

BENIHANA HIBACHI CHICKEN RICE

Steps:

• Cook rice following instructions on package (Bring 2 cups water to a boil, add rice and a dash of salt, reduce heat and simmer in covered saucepan for 20 minutes). Pour rice into a large bowl to let it cool in the refrigerator.
• Scramble the eggs in a small pan over medium heat. Separate the scrambled chunks of egg into small pea-size bits while cooking.
• When rice has cooled to near room temperature, add peas, grated carrot, scrambled egg and diced onion to the bowl. Carefully toss all of the ingredients together.
• Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan or flat grill over medium/high heat.
• When butter has completely melted, dump the bowl of rice and other ingredients into the pan and add soy sauce plus a dash of salt and pepper. Cook rice for 6-8 minutes over heat, stirring often.
• This fried rice can be prepared ahead of time by cooking the rice, then adding the peas, carrots and egg plus half of the soy sauce. Keep this refrigerated until you are ready to fry it in the butter. That's when you add the chicken, salt, pepper and remaining soy sauce.
