Ingredients
Scale
Steak Marinade
- 1½ lbs NY Strip Steak
- 2 tbs low sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
- 2 tbs sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbs ginger paste
- 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbs honey (optional)
Fried Rice
- 6 cups cooked + cooled Basmati rice
- 2 tbs sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 eggs
- 12 oz bag frozen vegetables, thawed
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbs butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbs ginger paste
- 1 tbs sesame seeds
Hibachi Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbs Sriracha
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the steak marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger paste, Worcestershire sauce, and honey until well combined. This mixture will infuse the steak with savory and slightly sweet flavors.
- Marinate the steak: Coat the NY Strip Steak evenly with the marinade and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors while you prepare other components.
- Heat the cooking surface: Preheat a griddle or two large pans on high heat for about 4 minutes until very hot and ready for cooking. High heat is essential to achieve that signature hibachi sear.
- Cook the steak: Place the marinated steak onto the hot griddle or pan. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes depending on your preferred doneness, creating a savory crust. Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest before slicing.
- Start the fried rice: In the same griddle or pans, add sesame oil, then stir in the cold cooked rice, diced onion, and cracked eggs. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently to scramble the eggs and combine all ingredients evenly.
- Add vegetables and seasonings: Mix in the thawed frozen vegetables, then pour in the soy sauce. Add butter, minced garlic, ginger paste, and sesame seeds. Stir continuously and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the rice develops a golden brown crust, indicating it’s perfectly fried.
- Prepare hibachi sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Sriracha, and salt to taste. Mix until smooth to create a creamy, spicy sauce that pairs well with the steak and fried rice.
- Serve: Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain. Plate alongside the golden fried rice and drizzle or serve with the hibachi sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your homemade hibachi feast!
Notes
- For best results, use cold, day-old cooked rice to prevent stickiness and achieve a better fried rice texture.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the hibachi sauce to control the spice level.
- You can substitute NY Strip Steak with ribeye or sirloin based on preference or availability.
- Ensure the pan or griddle is hot before cooking to develop the signature hibachi char and sear.
- Try adding green onions or beansprouts to the fried rice for additional texture and flavor variations.
