Ingredients
Scale
Steak Marinade
- 1½ lbs NY Strip Steak
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
- 2 tbsp sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp honey (optional)
Fried Rice
- 6 cups cooked and cooled Basmati rice
- 2 tbsp sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 eggs
- 12 oz bag frozen vegetables, thawed
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Hibachi Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp Sriracha
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Steak Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger paste, Worcestershire sauce, and honey until combined to create the hibachi steak marinade.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the NY Strip steak in a shallow dish or ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a grill, griddle, or skillet to high heat. Cook the marinated steak to your desired doneness, typically 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare depending on thickness. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
- Start Fried Rice: Heat a griddle or two pans on high for 4 minutes. Add sesame oil, then add the cooked rice, diced onion, and cracked eggs. Cook while tossing and mixing for 3 minutes, allowing the eggs to scramble and combine thoroughly.
- Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Stir in the thawed vegetables, then add soy sauce, butter, minced garlic, ginger paste, and sesame seeds. Continue cooking and stirring for 5 minutes, until a golden brown crust forms on the rice and vegetables are heated through.
- Mix Hibachi Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Sriracha, and salt to taste. Mix well and serve as a dipping sauce for the steak and fried rice.
- Serve: Slice the rested steak thinly and plate alongside the golden fried rice. Drizzle with the homemade hibachi sauce or serve it on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use cold, day-old rice for best texture in fried rice to prevent mushiness.
- Feel free to customize frozen vegetables with fresh options like bell peppers or mushrooms.
- Adjust the amount of honey or Sriracha for sweetness or spiciness based on preference.
- Let the steak rest after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
- This recipe works well with other steak cuts like ribeye or sirloin.
