Ingredients
Scale
Steak Marinade
- 2 lbs top sirloin steak, cut into rough chunks
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 6 cloves 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
Vegetables
- 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
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Steak Cooking
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1–2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or Japanese BBQ sauce (Bachan’s recommended)
For Serving
- Fried rice (store-bought or homemade)
- Store-bought Yum Yum Sauce
Instructions
- Prep & marinate steak: Place the top sirloin steak chunks in a large bowl or plastic bag. Add mirin, garlic, ginger paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, white or black pepper, and kosher salt. Toss everything thoroughly until the steak is fully coated. Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavors.
- Sauté veggies: Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Once the fat is hot, add the sliced carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook while tossing often until the vegetables are tender and golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove the vegetables to a clean plate and wipe the pan if needed.
- Cook steak: In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the marinated steak chunks. Cook while tossing frequently to sear evenly for about 3 to 4 minutes, ensuring the steak remains tender and does not overcook. Once seared, remove from heat and drizzle teriyaki or Japanese BBQ sauce over the steak. Toss to coat until the pieces are glossy and flavorful.
- Build the bowls & serve: Evenly distribute the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables into shallow bowls along with fried rice. Drizzle with store-bought Yum Yum sauce or serve the sauce on the side. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful hibachi steak bowls!
Notes
- Marinate the steak at least 30 minutes or up to a few hours for deeper flavor.
- Use a high smoke point oil like sesame oil for authentic flavor and proper searing.
- Adjust the vegetable cooking time if you prefer them more or less tender.
- Store leftovers separately if possible to maintain texture.
- Yum Yum sauce can be homemade or store-bought depending on preference.
