INGREDIENTS
  

  • 1 lb steak sirloin, ribeye, filet mignon, or New York strip
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp mirin or rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds optional

INSTRUCTIONS
 

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

  • Pat the steak dry to remove excess moisture for a better sear.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Let the steak sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Heat the Pan or Grill

  • Heat a cast-iron skillet, griddle, or hibachi grill to 450-500°F (230-260°C).
  • Add sesame oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.

Step 3: Sear the Steak

  • Place the steak on the hot surface and sear for 2-3 minutes without moving.
  • Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare (adjust for desired doneness).
  • Sear the edges for 30 seconds per side if using a thick-cut steak.

Step 4: Add Butter & Sauce

  • Reduce heat to medium and add butter and minced garlic.
  • Pour in soy sauce and mirin, tilting the pan to baste the steak.

Step 5: Rest & Serve

  • Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Slice against the grain for tenderness.
  • Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  • Serve with fried rice, sautéed vegetables, or noodles.

NOTES

Tips for the Best Hibachi Steak
  • Use high heat for a perfect sear and deep flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed.
  • Rest the steak before slicing to keep it juicy.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of teriyaki sauce in the final minute of cooking.
