Ingredients
1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
¼ cup mirin (optional)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
8 ounces mushrooms, quartered
3 cups cooked fried rice
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Cooking oil, as needed
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mirin, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.
Add the cubed sirloin steak and toss until evenly coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the steak to marinate.
While the steak marinates, prepare the vegetables by slicing the carrots and zucchini into thin rounds and quartering the mushrooms.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small drizzle of cooking oil.
Add the carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Transfer the vegetables to a plate and keep warm.
Increase the heat to medium-high.
Add the marinated steak to the hot skillet in a single layer.
Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
Return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet and toss everything together until heated through.
Divide the fried rice evenly among four serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the hibachi steak and vegetable mixture.
Drizzle with soy sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
Sirloin offers great flavor and tenderness, but ribeye or New York strip also work well.
Avoid overcrowding the pan so the steak develops a flavorful sear.
Fresh ginger provides the most authentic flavor.
Add broccoli, onions, snap peas, or bell peppers for extra vegetables.
Serve with yum yum sauce or spicy mayo for a classic hibachi-style meal.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet.
