01 - 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon mirin or dry sherry
04 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
05 - 1 garlic clove, minced
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Fried Rice

07 - 3 cups cooked and cooled jasmine rice, preferably day-old
08 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
09 - 1 small onion, diced
10 - 1 cup carrots, diced
11 - 1 cup zucchini, diced
12 - 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
13 - 1 cup frozen peas
14 - 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
15 - 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
16 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
17 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
18 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Garnish

19 - Sesame seeds
20 - Additional sliced green onions

# Directions:

01 - Combine steak cubes with soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, and black pepper in a bowl. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing remaining ingredients.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated steak and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned but still tender. Remove steak and set aside.
03 - In the same pan, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Sauté onion, carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms for 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender.
04 - Push vegetables to the side of the pan. Pour beaten eggs into the cleared space and scramble until just cooked through.
05 - Add rice, peas, and cooked steak to the pan. Drizzle with soy sauce and toss everything together, breaking up any rice clumps.
06 - Stir in butter and half the green onions. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and slightly crispy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
07 - Transfer to serving plates immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional green onions if desired.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The entire meal comes together in one pan, which means fewer dishes to wash and more time enjoying dinner.
  • It tastes like restaurant-quality hibachi but costs a fraction of the price and takes less time than delivery would arrive.
  • You control every element, so you can make it exactly how you like it without feeling rushed or compromised.
02 -
  • Day-old rice is non-negotiable because fresh rice will steam and become mushy no matter what technique you use—this is the single most important thing standing between you and a disappointing dish.
  • Don't touch the steak too much while it's cooking because you need that brown crust for flavor, and constant stirring prevents that from happening.
03 -
  • Taste the marinade before adding the steak to it—this sounds silly but it lets you adjust the seasoning without having to fix it later when everything's cooked.
  • Have all your ingredients prepped and sitting in little bowls before you start cooking, because once the pan is hot, there's no time to grab things from the fridge.
