Ingredients
Scale
Steak Marinade
- 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
Cooking
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 Tablespoon teriyaki sauce
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 1-inch cubed strip or sirloin steak with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Stir well to coat the meat evenly and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
- Preheat the Cooking Surface: Heat a large griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking, ensuring a good sear on the steak cubes.
- Cook the Steak: Add the marinated steak cubes to the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes without stirring to develop a nice sear, then stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes to cook the steak evenly on all sides.
- Add Butter, Garlic, and Teriyaki Sauce: Add 2 tablespoons butter, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce to the skillet. Stir the steak with these ingredients and cook for another 1-3 minutes depending on your preferred steak doneness, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked hibachi steak to a plate and enjoy immediately, perfect paired with rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- For best results, use a cast-iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed griddle to achieve a good sear and even cooking.
- Adjust the cooking time in step 4 based on your preferred level of doneness; shorter for medium-rare, longer for well done.
- You can substitute teriyaki sauce with soy sauce and a little honey or brown sugar if unavailable.
- Adding vegetables like onions, mushrooms, or zucchini to the pan during the last cooking step makes this a full hibachi meal.
- Let the steak rest for a couple of minutes off the heat before serving to retain juices.
