- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 2 cups mixed hibachi vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Green onions for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Begin by cooking the rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
In a large skillet or hibachi grill, heat the butter over medium heat until it melts and bubbles gently.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Your kitchen will start to smell wonderful!
Next, add the steak to the skillet. Season it with salt and pepper, cooking it to your desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the mixed vegetables and drizzle them with soy sauce. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 4-6 minutes. The colors will brighten, and the scent will become even more delightful.
To assemble the bowls, place a generous serving of rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top it with sliced steak and the sautéed vegetables.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the cozy flavors!
