Introduction
These Hibachi Steak Bowls bring the flavors of a Japanese steakhouse right into your kitchen. Tender marinated sirloin pairs perfectly with savory sautéed vegetables and a drizzle of Yum Yum sauce, all served over fried rice for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs top sirloin steak, cut into rough chunks
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 6 cloves of garlic, finely minced or pressed
- 2 teaspoons ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper (or black pepper)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 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 recommended)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1-2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or Japanese BBQ sauce (such as Bachan’s)
- For serving: Fried rice & store-bought Yum Yum Sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: Place the sirloin steak into a large bowl or plastic bag. Add the mirin, garlic, ginger paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, white or black pepper, and kosher salt to taste. Toss to coat the steak evenly, then set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook, tossing often, until the vegetables are tender and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Season with garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and wipe the pan clean if needed.
- Step 3: In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook, tossing frequently, until nicely seared but still tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and drizzle with teriyaki or Japanese BBQ sauce. Toss well to coat the steak evenly.
- Step 4: Divide the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables evenly into shallow bowls along with fried rice. Drizzle with Yum Yum sauce or serve the sauce on the side. Enjoy your homemade hibachi steak bowls!
Tips & Variations
- Use baby bella mushrooms for a deeper earthy flavor, or substitute with shiitake for a different texture.
- Marinate the steak longer, up to 2 hours, for an even more flavorful and tender result.
- Try adding bell peppers or snap peas to the vegetable mix for extra color and crunch.
- For a low-carb option, serve the steak and veggies over cauliflower rice instead of fried rice.
Storage
Store leftover steak, vegetables, and rice separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. To keep the steak tender, avoid overcooking during reheating.
