Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 pound sirloin or NY strip steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Vegetables
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch sticks
Sauce and Aromatics
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
Garnish
- Sesame seeds
- Sliced green onions
Instructions
- Season and Cook Steak: Season the bite-sized steak pieces generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sear the steak pieces for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust. Remove the cooked steak from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil along with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions, sautéing them for 4 to 5 minutes until they soften and become fragrant.
- Add and Cook Zucchini: Add the zucchini sticks to the pan with the mushrooms and onions. Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still crisp.
- Sauté Garlic in Butter: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on the empty side, then add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, being careful not to burn it, about 1 minute.
- Prepare and Add Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Pour this sauce mixture into the pan with the vegetables and garlic. Stir to coat everything evenly.
- Combine Steak and Simmer: Return the cooked steak pieces back to the pan, toss everything together, and let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Finish and Garnish: Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan, mix it through the steak and vegetables for added richness. Garnish the finished hibachi steak with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
