Nani's Easy Hibachi Steak and Fried Rice
Bring the fun of a Japanese steakhouse right to your own kitchen with these savory, bite sized steak pieces served over flavorful fried rice.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so satisfying about the sizzle of steak on a hot grill. This recipe is one of my favorites because it captures that classic hibachi flavor without needing to head out to a restaurant. It feels special enough for a weekend meal but is simple enough to put together on a busy weeknight.
My biggest tip is to get your pan or griddle as hot as possible before you add the meat. That quick sear is exactly what gives the steak that beautiful golden crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups cooked white rice, chilled

Add the steak cubes in a single layer and sear them until browned on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the remaining oil, peas, and carrots. Sauté for 2 minutes until tender.

Serve your steak and rice warm with the spicy mayo drizzled over the top.
💡 Tips
Leftover rice works best for this recipe because it is drier and crisps up nicely in the pan. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and reheat them quickly in a skillet.
