I am so glad you are here. This recipe shows you how to make tender, savory hibachi steak at home using a skillet. You get that restaurant-style flavor without needing a teppanyaki grill. This is a quick, big-on-flavor weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Place the steak cubes in a bowl. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Toss to coat the steak evenly. Let the steak marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the water, rice vinegar, sugar, and ground ginger to create the sauce base. Set aside.
  3. Place a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and let it melt until it foams slightly.
  4. Add half of the marinated steak to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear the steak for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside.
  5. Repeat the searing process with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the rest of the steak. Remove the second batch and set it aside with the first batch.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  7. Pour the prepared sauce base into the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  8. Return all the cooked steak to the skillet. Toss the steak in the sauce until it is fully coated and heated through, about 1 minute.
  9. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter until it melts and creates a rich, glossy garlic butter sauce coating the steak.
  10. Serve your restaurant style steak at home immediately over rice or with vegetables.

Notes

  • For an authentic Japanese steakhouse dinner experience, serve this steak with homemade fried rice and sautéed zucchini and mushrooms.
  • If you want to make a quick steak bowl recipe idea, layer the steak over steamed white rice and top with sesame seeds.
  • You can substitute sirloin with ribeye or filet mignon for a richer flavor.
