Introduction

Hibachi steak is a quick and flavorful dish that brings the taste of Japanese grill right to your kitchen. Tender cubes of steak are marinated and cooked with a savory blend of garlic, soy, and teriyaki sauce for a deliciously satisfying meal.

The dish features three main parts arranged on a white plate with vertical ridged edges, set on a white marbled surface. On the right side, there are small grilled meat cubes with a rich brown color, a shiny glazed texture, and some charred spots, stacked to form a small pile. To the left of the meat, there is a serving of fried rice mixed with small pieces of carrot and green peas, showing a golden-brown color and separated grains with a slightly oily surface. At the top left, a mix of sautéed vegetables including broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, and slices of onion are arranged loosely with a light sear, showing green, white, and brown colors.

Ingredients

1 pound strip steak or sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
2 Tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 Tablespoon teriyaki sauce

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cubed steak, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and let the steak marinate for 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 2: Preheat a large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and wait until it’s hot.
Step 3: Add the marinated steak to the hot pan. Cook for about 2 minutes without stirring, then stir and continue cooking for another 2 minutes to brown the meat evenly.
Step 4: Add the butter, minced garlic, and teriyaki sauce to the pan. Stir to coat the steak and cook for an additional 1-3 minutes, adjusting the time depending on your preferred steak doneness.
Step 5: Remove the steak from the pan and transfer it to a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy your hibachi steak!

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add sliced mushrooms or onions to the pan along with the steak.
Use a mix of butter and sesame oil for a subtle nutty aroma.
If you prefer a spicier twist, sprinkle a pinch of chili flakes during cooking.
Let the steak rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.

Storage

Store leftover hibachi steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat to preserve tenderness, adding a small splash of soy sauce or water if needed to keep it moist.

FAQs

Can I use other cuts of steak for this recipe?

Yes, sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak can also work well; just adjust cooking times slightly based on thickness and tenderness.

Is it necessary to marinate the steak?

Marinating enhances flavor and tenderness but if you’re short on time, cooking immediately will still produce tasty results thanks to the seasoning added during cooking.
