🥩 What Makes This Recipe So Good
This recipe gives you a restaurant-quality hibachi steak dinner (complete with sides!) that’ll remind you of your favorite Japanese place. Minus the onion volcano, unfortunately, unless you’re feeling adventurous. The steak is rich and juicy, and the fried rice is loaded with peas, carrots, and scrambled eggs. We round it all out with tender, sautéed onions, mushrooms, and zucchini, and finish it with an amazing ginger sauce for extra umami. Don’t let the ingredients or the instructions intimidate you. This recipe is really SO easy, even if you’re a total novice in the kitchen. The steak and veggies are the most “complicated” part of the dish, and that’s only because you cook them at the same time in two separate pans. I really like to make hibachi steak for meal prep lunches, because everything refrigerates well and reheats even better. If you’re in the mood for meal prep hibachi, just divide everything evenly between your meal prep containers and refrigerate until ready to eat. I recommend reheating it all on the stove if you can, but the microwave will work just fine if you can’t. Pro tip: sprinkle a little water into the rice before microwaving it. That way, it steams a little and stays moist, rather than drying out and becoming crunchy.
👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
I like my steak (hibachi or not) cooked medium-rare, but you can cook yours to whatever level you prefer. The cook time will vary depending on the doneness you want, ranging from 2 minutes for medium-rare up to 5 minutes for well-done. If you’re unsure about the timing, check the temperature of the steak with an internal meat thermometer before serving it. I’ve included those temps in the recipe card below! Fried rice was originally created as a way to use up leftover rice. That means, for the very best fried rice possible, you’ll want to use rice that’s been cooked at least 1 day in advance. Don’t reheat it before using it in this recipe, it’ll be just fine cold or at room temperature. Once you get going, all the components of this hibachi steak dinner cook pretty quickly – especially the steak. Make sure everything’s fully prepped before you start cooking. If you have to stop to chop vegetables, slice steak, or track down a second skillet, you’ll throw off the timing and may have to reheat something before serving.
