Ingredients
  

For the Steak:

  • 2 ribeye steaks or your preferred cut like sirloin or filet mignon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Marinade:

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin or honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger or ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil optional
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional for spice

For Grilling:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed (for butter)

For Serving:

  • 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 lemon or lime wedge for garnish

Optional Vegetables:

  • 1 zucchini sliced
  • 1/2 onion sliced into rings or half-moons
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the Steak:
  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin (or honey), minced garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
  • Place the steaks in a shallow dish or Ziploc bag, pour the marinade over the steaks, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  • Prep the Grill:
  • If using a Blackstone griddle or regular grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.
  • Lightly oil the griddle or grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the Steak:
  • Once the grill is hot, remove the steaks from the marinade and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  • Place the steaks on the hot griddle or grill, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare (or longer depending on your desired doneness).
  • While the steaks are cooking, melt the butter in a small pan with crushed garlic for extra flavor.
  • Rest the Steak:
  • Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  • Grill the Vegetables (Optional):
  • If making hibachi-style vegetables, add the sliced zucchini, onion, mushrooms, and broccoli to the griddle. Drizzle with a little soy sauce and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Serve:
  • Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve it with your choice of grilled vegetables. Garnish with green onions and a squeeze of lemon or lime for extra freshness.

Notes

  • Steak Choice: Ribeye is recommended for its marbling, but you can use sirloin or filet mignon for a leaner alternative.
  • Marinate: For best results, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes to help tenderize and flavor the meat.
  • Vegetables: You can customize the vegetables to your preference. Just remember to cook them on high heat for that hibachi-style char.
  • Grill Tip: Don’t overcrowd the grill. Ensure the steak has plenty of room to sear and develop a nice crust.
