Hibachi Steak with Fried Rice and Ginger Sauce

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

This Hibachi Steak is made traditional "hibachi" style and served with fried rice and a fresh made ginger sauce. You can use this recipe to make hibachi shrimp too!

Ok, maybe traditional isn't quite the word. I used a large griddle to make this recipe, but you can make it in a large skillet as well. Either works!

This is such a fun recipe because it reminds me of being younger and getting super excited about going to dinner at Benihana.

Cooking the beef quickly over high heat let's it caramelize on the outside and still stay nice and tender (like we do with this bo luc lac, air fryer steak tips or this Mongolian beef). And that ginger sauce is just so yummy. It's just like the Benihana sauce in my opinion.

This is a super fun recipe to make at home (it'll save you a few bucks too) with the fried rice and homemade Japanese ginger sauce. You can even add these air fryer potstickers to start your dinner!

Ingredients

Ingredients for Hibachi Steak:

Ingredients for Fried Rice:

Ingredients for Ginger Sauce:

A good quality (Choice or above) sirloin or tenderloin steak work best for this recipe.

I recommended using day old or at least cold white rice to make the fried rice to keep it from getting mushy. Leftover rice work great! You may also want to try this Chinese fried rice or this Kimchi fried rice for this recipe!

Fresh ginger is going to result in the best flavor for the ginger sauce.

For the frozen vegetables, you can use any small cut frozen vegetables. They have some specifically made for stir frying, so choose whatever you like!

Step By Step Instructions

Heat the avocado oil (or vegetable oil) on large skillet or griddle over high heat and add the beef once it starts to smoke.

Cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the remaining ingredients and toss to combine and full coat the beef with sauce.

Remove and set aside to serve with fried rice and ginger sauce. I also like it served with this nuoc cham dipping sauce or this spicy Thai peanut sauce for a little something different!

How to Make Simple Fried Rice

Turn the skillet down to medium high,

Add the eggs and cook for 1 minute, using a spatula to scramble. Be sure to start scrambling them just a few seconds in to make sure they don't get too brown.

together and remove from heat once warmed through.

Serve with the hibachi steak.

You could also serve this with Instant Pot sushi rice.

How to Make Ginger Sauce

Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until a sauce forms. Serve with the hibachi steak.

** You can also use this ginger sauce as a dressing for a salad or with this chicken yakitori.

Expert Tips

1. Make sure the griddle or skillet is extremely hot before adding the beef to ensure it gets a nice seared crust on the outside. Otherwise, the meat will just steam and lose that great caramelized flavor.
2. Using fresh ginger will impart the best flavor in the sauce. Peel the ginger then use a grater to grate it.
3. Using day old or at least cold rice is very important to make sure your fried rice doesn't end up mushy.
4. You can use white or brown rice for the fried rice.
5. Any frozen small chopped vegetables will work for this recipe. Use the ones you like!
6. When scrambling the eggs, don't let them sit too long or they will turn brown.
