Ingredients
Scale
Steak Marinade
- 2 lbs top sirloin steak, cut into rough chunks
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 6 cloves of garlic, finely minced or pressed
- 2 teaspoons ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper (or black pepper)
- Kosher salt, to taste
Veggies & Cooking
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 medium carrots, thinly cut on a bias
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced in half lengthwise & then cut into half moons
- 4–5 ounces sliced mushrooms (baby bella)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Steak Cooking & Serving
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1–2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or Japanese BBQ sauce
- Fried rice, for serving
- Store-bought Yum Yum sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Prep & marinate steak: Place the sirloin steak chunks into a large bowl or plastic baggie. Add mirin, garlic, ginger paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ground white or black pepper, and kosher salt to taste. Toss well to coat all steak pieces evenly. Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Sauté veggies: Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook the vegetables, tossing often, until they are tender and golden brown, approximately 10-15 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Transfer the cooked veggies to a clean plate and set aside. Wipe the pan clean if needed.
- Cook steak: In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Heat over medium-high. When hot, add the marinated steak chunks and cook, tossing frequently, until nicely seared but still tender, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid overcooking to prevent toughness. Remove pan from heat and drizzle with teriyaki or Japanese BBQ sauce, tossing to coat the steak evenly with the sauce.
- Build the bowls & serve: Divide fried rice evenly into shallow bowls. Top with the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with store-bought Yum Yum sauce or serve it on the side. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant hibachi flavors.
Notes
- Marinating the steak for at least 30 minutes enhances flavor and tenderness but can be done up to a few hours ahead for deeper taste.
- Use baby bella mushrooms for an earthy flavor, but cremini or shiitake mushrooms work well too.
- Adjust cooking time for steak depending on preferred doneness; this recipe favors medium rare to medium for tenderness.
- Yum Yum sauce can be homemade or store-bought; feel free to customize for spice or creaminess.
- Use freshly cooked fried rice or store-bought frozen fried rice for a quick assembly.
