Recreate the savory, buttery flavor of Japanese steakhouse dining at home with this quick and tender hibachi steak recipe. You achieve restaurant-quality results using a simple skillet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the steak cubes with soy sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss to coat the steak evenly. Let the steak marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  2. Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the butter and let it melt until it foams slightly.
  3. Add half of the marinated steak to the hot skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Sear the steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
  4. Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Pour in the water or broth and rice vinegar. Bring the liquid to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the sugar. This creates your quick garlic butter steak sauce.
  6. Return all the cooked steak to the skillet. Toss quickly to coat the steak in the sauce. Cook for 1 minute to heat through.
  7. Remove from heat immediately. Serve your hibachi steak hot, often paired with hibachi fried rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete weeknight steak meal.

Notes

  • For the best sear, make sure your skillet is very hot before adding the steak. Work in batches to avoid steaming the meat.
  • If you want to make a full Hibachi Steak Bowl, serve this over white rice with sautéed zucchini and carrots.
  • Use high-quality sirloin steak for the most tender results in this quick steak marinade recipe.
