Make restaurant-quality Hibachi Steak at home with this quick recipe. You get tender sirloin seared with garlic butter and savory seasonings for a delicious weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • For Serving (Optional): Cooked white rice, sliced zucchini, sliced mushrooms

Instructions

  1. Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic in a bowl. Add the steak cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil and half of the butter (2 tablespoons) in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Add the steak to the hot pan in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak and set aside.
  4. If cooking vegetables, add the remaining butter to the pan. Add zucchini and mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with pepper.
  5. Return the steak to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the remaining marinade over the steak and vegetables. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the steak.
  6. Serve the Hibachi Steak immediately over cooked white rice.

Notes

  • For the best sear, cook the steak in batches so the pan temperature stays high.
  • You can substitute sirloin with filet mignon or New York strip steak.
  • To make a simple Yum Yum Sauce, mix mayonnaise, tomato paste, melted butter, paprika, garlic powder, and a touch of sugar.
