Yields1 Serving
 2 lbs top sirloin steak, cut into rough chunks
 1 tbsp mirin
 6 cloves of garlic, finely minced or pressed
 2 tsp ginger paste
 2 tbsp plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil, divided
 ½ tsp ground white pepper (or black pepper)
 Kosher salt, to taste
 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
 3 medium carrots, thinly cut on a bias
 2 medium zucchinis, sliced in half lengthwise & then cut into half moons
 45 oz sliced mushrooms (I use baby bella)
 ½ tsp garlic powder
 12 tbsp teriyaki sauce or Japanese BBQ Sauce (we love Bachan’s!)
 For serving: Fried rice & store-bought Yum Yum Sauce
1

Prep & marinate steak. Place the sirloin into a large bowl (or inside a large plastic baggie). Add the mirin, garlic, ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, white pepper (or black pepper), and salt-to taste. Toss all ingredients to fully combine, ensuring steak chunks are thoroughly coated. Then set the steak aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Sauté veggies. In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. When hot, add the carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Cook the veggies, tossing often, until tender and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Season the veggies with garlic powder and salt/pepper- to taste. Then transfer the sautéed veggies to a clean plate and set aside. If needed, carefully wipe the pan clean with a damp paper towel.

3

Cook steak. In the same pan, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the steak. Cook, tossing beef often, until nicely seared, about 3-4 minutes- careful not to overcook steak into toughness. Then remove from heat, and drizzle in the teriyaki sauce or Japanese BBQ sauce, toss well to coat steak in sauce until chunks are glistening.

4

Build the bowls & serve. Evenly divide the cooked steak and sautéed veggies into shallow bowls, along with fried rice. Finish off bowls with a drizzle of store-bought Yum Yum sauce (or feel free to serve it on the side) to complete these hibachi steak bowls. Enjoy!

Store-bought Yum Yum Sauce is typically found in the international section of your local grocery store (near the Asian goods). Stores like Publix, Target, Walmart, and Kroger usually keep it in stock. It’s also available online- I love Terry Ho’s brand!
Fried rice note: To keep the quick + easy theme rolling for this recipe, I like to use store-bought fried rice that just needs to be heated. It’s available in the freezer section of grocery stores- I love the InnovAsian brand! Otherwise, feel free to make your own or use your preferred choice of rice here.
