This hibachi steak with fried rice and hibachi veggies tastes just like your favorite Japanese restaurant dinner! Made with authentic ingredients and served with a side of ginger sauce, this restaurant-style hibachi recipe is the perfect way to get your fix of Asian food in the comfort of your home.
🥩 What Makes This Recipe So Good
- This recipe gives you a restaurant-quality hibachi steak dinner (complete with sides!) that’ll remind you of your favorite Japanese place. Minus the onion volcano, unfortunately, unless you’re feeling adventurous. The steak is rich and juicy, and the fried rice is loaded with peas, carrots, and scrambled eggs. We round it all out with tender, sautéed onions, mushrooms, and zucchini, and finish it with an amazing ginger sauce for extra umami.
- Don’t let the ingredients or the instructions intimidate you. This recipe is really SO easy, even if you’re a total novice in the kitchen. The steak and veggies are the most “complicated” part of the dish, and that’s only because you cook them at the same time in two separate pans.
- I really like to make hibachi steak for meal prep lunches, because everything refrigerates well and reheats even better. If you’re in the mood for meal prep hibachi, just divide everything evenly between your meal prep containers and refrigerate until ready to eat. I recommend reheating it all on the stove if you can, but the microwave will work just fine if you can’t. Pro tip: sprinkle a little water into the rice before microwaving it. That way, it steams a little and stays moist, rather than drying out and becoming crunchy.
👩🏼🍳 Chef’s Tips
- I like my steak (hibachi or not) cooked medium-rare, but you can cook yours to whatever level you prefer. The cook time will vary depending on the doneness you want, ranging from 2 minutes for medium-rare up to 5 minutes for well-done. If you’re unsure about the timing, check the temperature of the steak with an internal meat thermometer before serving it. I’ve included those temps in the recipe card below!
- Fried rice was originally created as a way to use up leftover rice. That means, for the very best fried rice possible, you’ll want to use rice that’s been cooked at least 1 day in advance. Don’t reheat it before using it in this recipe, it’ll be just fine cold or at room temperature.
- Once you get going, all the components of this hibachi steak dinner cook pretty quickly – especially the steak. Make sure everything’s fully prepped before you start cooking. If you have to stop to chop vegetables, slice steak, or track down a second skillet, you’ll throw off the timing and may have to reheat something before serving.

- Secure lid on blender and blend until ingredients are fully combined and mixture is very smooth. Transfer sauce to jar or bowl, cover with lid, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
For the Fried Rice
- Add 2 tablespoons avocado oil to large skillet or wok. Heat pan on stovetop over medium-high heat, swirling and tilting pan to distribute oil across surface.
- When oil is hot and shimmery, add ½ cup diced white onion and 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix to pan. Sauté vegetables, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes or until onions are almost translucent.
- Push vegetables to outer edges of skillet, creating empty space in center of skillet. Crack 2 large eggs directly into center of pan, then scramble eggs with spatula until eggs are cooked through completely.
- Once eggs are fully scrambled, add 4 cups cooked rice and 4 tablespoons butter to skillet. Stir to incorporate all ingredients, including peas and carrots. Cook mixture 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and rice is heated through.
- Pour 4 tablespoons soy sauce over top of rice mixture and stir to incorporate. Cook rice mixture 1 minute more, then immediately transfer fried rice to medium bowl. Pack rice into bowl firmly to retain heat, then cover bowl with lid or plate. Set aside.
For the Hibachi Steak and Sautéed Vegetables (Made Simultaneously)
- For the Steak: Add 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil and 1 tablespoon avocado oil to skillet or wok used to cook fried rice. Heat skillet over medium-high heat, swirling and tilting pan to distribute oil across entire surface, until oil is hot and shimmery.
- For the Vegetables: Add 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil and 1 tablespoon avocado oil to separate skillet or wok. Heat skillet over medium-high heat, swirling and tilting pan to distribute oil across entire surface, until oil is hot and shimmery.
- For the Steak: When oil is hot, add 1 pound lean steak, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to pan. Stir to incorporate ingredients, coating steak completely in liquids, salt, and pepper.
- For the Vegetables: When oil is hot, add 1 large white onion, 2 cups baby bella mushrooms, 1 large zucchini, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to pan. Stir to incorporate ingredients, coating vegetables completely in liquids, salt, and pepper.
- For the Steak: Cook steak 2 to 5 minutes (see Notes) until desired doneness is achieved, stirring or flipping steak occasionally to brown all sides. When steak is cooked as desired, transfer steak to plate or cutting board and set aside to rest 3 to 5 minutes.
- For the Vegetables: Sauté vegetables, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and can be easily pierced with tines of fork, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Once tender, remove skillet from heat and set aside.
To Serve
- Divide fried rice equally onto serving plates. Add desired portions of hibachi steak and sautéed vegetables, and serve immediately with ginger sauce.
- Rice: For the best fried rice, use leftover rice that was cooked at least 1 day in advance. You can use a store-bought, pre-cooked rice for even more of that restaurant-quality texture and taste.
- Steak: Use a lean, high-quality cut, like sirloin or filet, and trim away any fat before cutting the steak into bite-sized pieces. Be sure to cut against the grain of the meat to keep the steak pieces from being chewy and tough.

Hi Cheryl, I’m looking to make this for my husbands upcoming birthday as it looks delicious. I honestly haven’t cooked steak much at all so just curious to know in your pictures, what meat you used? I’m trying to decide what meat to purchase and I understand sirloin to mean top sirloin but not sure on the filet end. If you feel one is better than the other, do share, I’d appreciate it as I determine what meat to buy.
Thanks so much (and for also listing meat temps)
Hi Eva! We suggest using a lean, high quality cut, like sirloin or filet. Either one is delicious in this recipe! Hope this helps!! 😊
Wow!! Made this tonight and it as amazing!! Besides topping this with Sriracha, I followed the directions to a T and wouldn’t change a thing. Will absolutely make this recipe again!
So happy you enjoyed it so much! Thank you for the kind review, Molly!
Wish I could post my picture I took 5 mins ago! Just made this for dinner tonight and still currently eating it, couldn’t wait to post a review for ya lol. I followed the recipe almost exactly (added garlic/onion powder to steak, added minced garlic to veggies)… 10/10 DELISH😬 seriously so so good!
Ooh, if you follow us on Instagram or Facebook, you can totally tag us in any photos you take of our recipes! We love seeing them! So glad you loved this dish, Ashley. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Instructions and ingredients are poorly written. No mention of lemon juice in ingredient list but indicated it in instructions. Overall taste very bland.
I’m so sorry this dish wasn’t a hit for you, Sharon! Thank you so much for your feedback, though. We’ll definitely take a look at the ingredients and instructions and make improvements where we can.
You mention not seeing lemon juice in the ingredients list – it’s currently the 5th item listed under the Ingredients heading. “3.5 teaspoons fresh lemon juice divided”. Did you see that group of ingredients? If you missed those, it makes total sense that your dish ended up bland! We’ll give that list a spruce to make it more clear moving forward. I do hope you’ll give this one another try!
It was so well explained that it was a dream to follow and the results absolutely yum. Thank you
So glad you enjoyed it, Raj! 🙂
