Because of small size of cast-iron barbecue, it's best to cook food in small portions. Hibatchis are great for cooking kebabs and small pieces of meat and vegetables. Many charcoal hibatchis have fans on underside of fire pit, allowing you to adjust airflow to coals. As with any barbecue cookout, you need to watch food as it is cooking on a hibatchi because fire can quickly flare up and burn your meal.

There are several models of hibatchis to choose from, and all are small enough to be easily portable. Even though a cast-iron is a heavy material, it is perfect for a small size barbecue. It holds heat and provides an even cooking temperature for a great barbecue cookout. 

It is also a marinade, so you will want to include time for steaks to marinate before cooking. You should marinate for at least a couple of hours but if you leave it overnight it is even better.

For this Australian bbq recipe you will need 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of your favorite red cooking wine, 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of mixed dried herbs and pepper to taste. Place your steaks in a large dish with a lid or you can use plastic wrap.

Mix all above ingredients together and then pour over your steaks, turn steaks to ensure that marinade has coated all sides of steaks. Refrigerate and cover. Turn steaks ever so often so marinade can soak into your steaks.
