How to Make Easy Hibachi Steak Recipe at Home!

There’s nothing quite like the sizzle and aroma of Hibachi Steak—it’s more than a meal- it’s an experience. But let’s be honest: as much as I love watching hibachi chefs pull off jaw-dropping spatula tricks, the real star of the show is the perfectly seared steak, bursting with flavor.

Ingredients
 

  • Neutral cooking oil (to coat)
  • 1 - 1 1/2 lb. sirloin steak (fat trimmed)
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 Tablespoons hibachi sauce*

Hibachi sauce recipe:

  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons mirin
  • 2 Tablespoons honey

Instructions

  • In a measuring cup, stir together soy sauce, mirin, and honey. Set aside.
  • Chop the steak into bite size pieces, then sprinkle all sides with Kosher salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium high heat. Add enough oil to coat, and heat until shimmering.
  • Spread the steak bites evenly across the pan and sear, undisturbed, for about two minutes. Flip and continue to sear about 1 minute.
  • Add the garlic and butter and toss to melt.
  • Add the sauce, and continue to cook, stirring often, until the sauce is slightly thickened and steak is well coated, 1-2 minutes. NOTE: This steak does not need very long to cook! 4-5 minutes total is all you need for a medium steak, so remove it promptly after adding the sauce.
  • Remove from heat and serve with yum yum sauce, if desired.

Notes

  • *This Hibachi sauce makes enough to make the hibachi steak, one recipe of fried rice, and one recipe for hibachi veggies. If you're just preparing the steak, you can substitute 2 Tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon mirin, and 1 teaspoon honey.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan. Cook the hibachi steak bites in batches if needed to ensure even searing.
    Add a drizzle of sesame oil and sprinkle of sesame seeds for a nutty, toasted finish.
  • Use high heat and preheat your pan. Hibachi cooking is all about achieving that perfect sear. A hot pan is key to getting that golden-brown crust on your steak.
