Vegetables:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch sticks
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- Sesame seeds
- Sliced green onions
Instructions
- Generously season steak pieces with salt and pepper, ensuring even coating.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). Sear steak for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pan, add remaining vegetable and sesame oils. Introduce sliced mushrooms and onions, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until they become translucent and tender.
- Add zucchini to the vegetable mixture, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Create a small space in the pan and melt butter. Quickly sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds, releasing its aromatic essence.
- Whisk soy sauce, mirin, and honey in a small bowl, creating a harmonious flavor blend.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the pan, coating the vegetables evenly.
- Reintroduce the seared steak to the pan, gently stirring to combine all ingredients.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes, reducing and thickening slightly.
- Incorporate the remaining butter, creating a glossy and rich finish.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
- Serve immediately alongside hibachi fried rice or yum yum sauce for a complete dining experience.
Notes
- Choose a tender cut like ribeye or sirloin for the most flavorful and juicy hibachi steak.
- Pat the steak dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming.
- Let the steak rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking to promote even cooking.
- Slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Use a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan to achieve the best high-heat searing.
- Customize the dish by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra nutrition and color.
- Make it gluten-free by using tamari instead of traditional soy sauce.
- Keep the vegetables crisp-tender by avoiding overcooking to maintain their texture and nutrients.
