Ingredients

2 lbs top sirloin steak, cut into rough chunks
1 tablespoon mirin
6 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
2 teaspoons ginger paste
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil, divided
½ teaspoon ground white pepper (or black pepper)
Kosher salt, to taste
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 medium carrots, thinly cut on a bias
2 medium zucchinis, sliced in half lengthwise then cut into half moons
4–5 ounces sliced mushrooms (baby bella recommended)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1–2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or Japanese BBQ sauce
For serving: fried rice and store-bought Yum Yum sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Place the sirloin in a large bowl or plastic bag. Add mirin, garlic, ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, white or black pepper, and salt to taste. Toss to coat steak chunks evenly. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook, tossing frequently, until vegetables are tender and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Transfer vegetables to a plate and wipe the pan clean if needed.
Step 3: In the same pan, heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook, tossing often, until well-seared but still tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Drizzle teriyaki or Japanese BBQ sauce over the cooked steak and toss to coat evenly until glistening.
Step 5: Divide steak and sautéed vegetables into shallow bowls alongside fried rice. Finish with a drizzle of Yum Yum sauce, or serve the sauce on the side. Enjoy your hibachi steak bowls!

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the steak overnight in the refrigerator.
You can substitute sirloin with ribeye or strip steak for a richer taste.
Try adding bell peppers or snap peas to the vegetables for added color and crunch.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha to the teriyaki sauce.
Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier bowl option.

Storage

Store leftover steak, vegetables, and rice separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through, adding a little water or extra sauce if needed to keep everything moist.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?

Yes, you can use ribeye, strip steak, or even flank steak. Just adjust cooking time to prevent overcooking and maintain tenderness.

Is there a substitute for Yum Yum sauce?

If you don’t have Yum Yum sauce, a simple mixture of mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic powder, and a splash of rice vinegar works well as a flavorful alternative.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak Marinade

2 lbs top sirloin steak, cut into rough chunks
1 tablespoon mirin
6 cloves of garlic, finely minced or pressed
2 teaspoons ginger paste
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon ground white pepper (or black pepper)
Kosher salt, to taste

Vegetables & Seasoning

3 medium carrots, thinly cut on a bias
2 medium zucchinis, sliced in half lengthwise & then cut into half moons
4–5 ounces sliced mushrooms (baby bella recommended)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking Fats & Sauce

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided (2 tablespoons for veggies, 2 tablespoons for steak)
2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided (1 tablespoon for marinade, 1 tablespoon for veggies, 1 tablespoon for steak)
1–2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce or Japanese BBQ Sauce (e.g., Bachan’s!)

To Serve

Fried rice
Store-bought Yum Yum Sauce

Instructions

Prep & Marinate Steak: Place the sirloin chunks into a large bowl or plastic bag. Add mirin, minced garlic, ginger paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, ground white or black pepper, and kosher salt to taste. Toss thoroughly to coat all steak pieces evenly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb flavors.
Sauté Veggies: Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots, zucchinis, and mushrooms. Cook while tossing frequently until veggies are tender and golden brown, approximately 10-15 minutes. Season with garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer veggies to a clean plate and wipe the pan clean if needed.
Cook Steak: Using the same pan, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Heat over medium-high until hot. Add the marinated steak pieces and cook, tossing often, until nicely seared on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep steak tender. Remove from heat and drizzle teriyaki or Japanese BBQ sauce over the steak. Toss gently to coat each piece with the sauce, making them glisten.
Build the Bowls & Serve: Distribute cooked steak and sautéed vegetables evenly into shallow bowls alongside fried rice. Drizzle generously with store-bought Yum Yum sauce or serve it on the side as preferred. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade hibachi steak bowls.

Notes

For best results, use top sirloin steak as it remains tender when quickly cooked.
Marinating the steak for longer (up to 2 hours) will infuse more flavor.
Adjust vegetable cooking time depending on your preferred tenderness.
Substitute teriyaki sauce with your favorite Japanese BBQ sauce if you prefer a smokier taste.
Yum Yum sauce can be homemade or store-bought to add a creamy, tangy finish to the bowls.
Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm steak and fresh veggies.
Leftover steak can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days but is best fresh.
