About the class

What you cook, what you learn

The hibachi steak masterclass is the class we built for the way Australians actually like to cook. You stand under a wide verandah, you light a small hibachi grill in front of you, and you cook your way through the best beef in the state with our team beside you.

It runs only at Bungala House because the verandah is what makes the class work. Open air, deep eaves, mesh windows on the western side. Fire on the bench at any of our other venues would not do justice to the experience.

What you cook changes through the year with the seasons. Below is what is currently on the bench. The booking page for each date confirms the exact dishes.

FAQ

Questions about the hibachi steak class

Is the class outdoor or indoor?

The class is in the rustic pavilion which provides an indoor-outdoor environment perfect for the class. Heating in the winter gives a cosy cooking environment.

Can vegetarians do the hibachi class?

Yes with seven days notice. We adapt the class to a vegetarian or vegan menu using mushrooms, charred vegetables, and the same native seasoning. The technique side of the class transfers fully. Mention it when you book.

Is it dangerous? Will I burn myself?

Hibachi grills are small and controllable. The bench is set up so you cannot lean into the fire. Our team works alongside you and watches the timing. The biggest risk is overcooking your steak, not burning yourself.

What kind of beef do you use?

Thomas Farms premium South Australian beef from the Mid North and Limestone Coast. We talk through the cuts and the producer relationship before you cook. Premium cuts that respond well to fast hot cooking.

Is it suitable for a private group?

Yes. The hibachi class is one of our most popular hens day formats. The verandah works well for groups of twelve to sixteen. Send a private booking enquiry.
