Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) steak (such as sirloin, ribeye, or filet mignon), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine) or dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Marinate the Steak:
- In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, sake (or dry sherry), minced garlic, sugar, grated ginger, salt, and pepper.
- Add the thinly sliced steak to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15-20 minutes, or you can marinate it longer in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
- Prepare the Hibachi Grill (or a Skillet):
- If you have a hibachi grill, preheat it. If not, you can use a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up.
- Cook the Steak:
- Once the grill or skillet is hot, add the marinated steak slices in a single layer. Depending on the size of your cooking surface, you may need to cook the steak in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the steak for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of around 135°F (57°C).
- As you cook, you can brush some of the remaining marinade onto the steak for extra flavor.
- Serve:
- Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steak to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
- Serve hot with fried rice, vegetables (like zucchini, mushrooms, or onions), and yum yum sauce or soy sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes:
- Yum Yum Sauce: If you'd like to make the classic Japanese steakhouse yum yum sauce for dipping, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and a little water until smooth.
- Vegetables: Hibachi steak is often served with sautéed or grilled vegetables. You can cook these alongside the steak in the same skillet or on the hibachi grill.
- Rice: Fried rice is a traditional accompaniment. Cook it separately with eggs, soy sauce, vegetables, and a touch of sesame oil.
