Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
I combine the mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
I add the cubed sirloin steak and toss it until every piece is evenly coated.
I cover the bowl and refrigerate the steak for at least 30 minutes.
While the steak marinates, I wash and prepare the vegetables by slicing the carrots and zucchini into thin rounds and quartering the mushrooms.
I heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a light drizzle of oil.
I sauté the carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms for 5 to 7 minutes until they become tender.
I increase the heat to medium-high and add the marinated steak to the skillet.
I cook the steak for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches my preferred doneness.
I combine the steak and vegetables together in the skillet.
I divide the fried rice among serving bowls, top with the hibachi steak and vegetables, and drizzle everything with soy sauce before serving.

Variations
I enjoy changing this recipe depending on what I have in my kitchen.
I substitute chicken or shrimp for the steak.

I sprinkle sesame seeds over the finished bowls for extra crunch.
I drizzle spicy mayo or yum yum sauce on top for a restaurant-style finish.

storage/reheating
I store leftover steak, vegetables, and rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If I want to keep them longer, I freeze individual portions for up to 2 months.
For reheating, I warm everything in a skillet over medium heat with a small splash of water or soy sauce to keep the rice from drying out. I can also microwave individual servings until thoroughly heated.
