How to Make Hibachi Steak Bowls

Step 1: Prep & Marinate Steak

Place the sirloin into a large bowl or plastic bag. Add the mirin, garlic, ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, white pepper (or black pepper), and salt to taste. Toss until the steak is fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Sauté Veggies

In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook, tossing often, until tender and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Season with garlic powder and salt/pepper to taste. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Wipe the pan clean if needed.

Step 3: Cook Steak

In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak. Cook, tossing often, until nicely seared, about 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook. Remove from heat and drizzle with teriyaki or Japanese BBQ sauce. Toss to coat.

Step 4: Build the Bowls & Serve

Evenly divide the cooked steak and sautéed veggies into bowls, along with fried rice. Drizzle with Yum Yum sauce. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
