Tender cubes of sirloin or strip steak are seared to perfection, then glazed with soy sauce and garlic butter for rich umami flavor. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal or to anchor your own at-home hibachi night.

Serve hot with hibachi fried rice, noodles, or grilled vegetables.
Notes
Chef’s Notes:
Garlic Butter: Combine 1 stick of unsalted butter with 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and ½ teaspoon lemon juice.For extra flavor, let steak marinate in 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon mirin for 15 minutes before searing.Use well-marbled beef for the best result—don’t overcook.
