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 baby bella mushrooms
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Steak Cooking
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1–2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or Japanese BBQ sauce (such as Bachan’s)
For Serving
- Fried rice (store-bought or homemade)
- Store-bought Yum Yum sauce, for drizzling or serving on the side
- Prep & marinate steak: Place the top sirloin chunks into a large bowl or plastic bag. Add mirin, garlic, ginger paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ground white or black pepper, and kosher salt to taste. Toss thoroughly to coat all steak pieces. Set aside and let marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavor.
- Sauté vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the carrots, zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Cook the vegetables, stirring often, until they become tender and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Transfer cooked veggies to a clean plate and wipe the pan clean with a damp paper towel if necessary.
- Cook steak: In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak chunks and cook, tossing frequently, for about 3-4 minutes until seared but still tender. Avoid overcooking to prevent toughness. Remove from heat and drizzle in the teriyaki or Japanese BBQ sauce. Toss to coat the steak evenly until pieces are glossy with sauce.
- Assemble the bowls & serve: Divide the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables evenly into shallow serving bowls alongside portions of fried rice. Finish each bowl with a drizzle of Yum Yum sauce or serve the sauce on the side. Enjoy your flavorful hibachi steak bowls immediately!
Notes
- Marinating the steak for a minimum of 30 minutes ensures better flavor penetration.
- Use fresh vegetables and slice them uniformly for even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of teriyaki sauce based on your preferred level of sweetness and saltiness.
- Store leftover steak and veggies separately from rice to maintain texture.
- Yum Yum sauce can be made at home or bought ready-made; it adds a creamy, tangy finish.
