Homemade Hibachi

 
HOMEMADE
Hibachi Steak, Fried Rice & Veggies
 
 
TOTAL TIME: 35 MIN
PREP TIME: 15 MIN
COOK TIME: 20 MIN
SERVES 4
 
INGREDIENTS FOR HIBACHI STEAK
2 Steaks of your choice (I used NY Strip)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
 
INGREDIENTS FOR HIBACHI VEGETABLES
1 large white onion (I used half)
1 large zucchini
1 large squash
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper
 
INGREDIENTS FOR FRIED RICE
4 cups cooked rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter (use more if you like more butter,
original recipe calls for 4 but that's too much for us!)
4 tablespoons soy sauce
 
 
DIRECTIONS
(The fun part!)
 
Important: Cook the plain white rice first so it has time to cool before you fry it!
Set aside.
 
*You will use the same skillet for all items being cooked. Do not wash the skillet!
 
Hibachi Steak
Cut steak into bite sized strips.
In a large skillet (or wok) warm the vegetable oil on medium heat.
(You will use medium heat the entire time for every item)
Add the steak, lemon juice, butter, soy sauce, salt & pepper and sauté for 6-8 minutes
or until desired temperature. I cooked it for about 5 minutes and it was the perfect medium rare steak!
When steak is desired temperature empty all steak and juices from pan into a large bowl or platter and keep warm until other items are cooked.
 
Hibachi Vegetables (USE SAME SKILLET)
(Wash all veggies with good organic cleaner before cutting and cooking!)
Cut zucchini, onion and squash into bite sized pieces.
Warm the vegetable oil in pan, add the veggies,
then add the butter, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
Cook until desired texture. I like mine a little crunchy on the outside!
After all veggies are cooked, set aside and keep warm.
 
Hibachi Fried Rice (USE SAME SKILLET)
Make sure rice is cooled before cooking in skillet.
Warm vegetable oil.
Add rice and butter.
When butter is melted add soy sauce.
I used extra soy sauce in this step because my hubby loves it!
Fry until golden brown.
 

 
When rice is complete place a serving of rice on each dinner plate,
top with desired amount of vegetables and steak and ENJOY!
 
This recipe can be done with chicken, shrimp or anything else your little heart tummy desires!
 
PS - I cheated and went to Genji to buy sides of Yum, Yum & Ginger...
only because I am way too busy to make them myself before hand.
But if you dare, you can find great recipes for them here:
 
This dinner was our first homemade meal as a married couple,
and we LOVED it!!! Hope you do as well.
Enjoy!
