This hibachi steak recipe delivers juicy, Japanese steakhouse-style steak bites with a simple 5-ingredient marinade. Ready in minutes, let's get cooking!
Begin the recipe by preparing the sirloin steak. Grab some paper towels and use them to remove any excess moisture from the 1 ½ pounds sirloin steak. Cut it into even-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Using a large bowl, prepare the marinade by adding 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, 2 cloves minced garlic, ½ tablespoon minced ginger, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
Stir to combine before adding the prepared steak. Using tongs, toss to combine and fully coat the raw steak in the marinade.
Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but you can leave it for up to 8 hours. If you're in a rush, you can go ahead and cook it immediately, but it will not be as flavorful.
After the steak has had time to marinate, remove it from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
Place a large skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat and allow it to warm before adding the oil. Allow the 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to heat and add the marinated steak. Add 1 tablespoon butter.
Allow it to cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the steak has browned on all sides. Carefully remove the steak from the pan and transfer it to a plate.
Serve warm topped with sesame seeds and some freshly chopped green onion. Enjoy!
