Hibachi steak is an experience in itself. While dinner and a show is one of the best parts of going to hibachi restaurants like Benihana, the food is also a huge plus! This hibachi style steak can be made right at home, Benihana style! The best part is, no fancy flat top is required. All you need is a cast iron skillet, some delicious steaks, and 15 minutes! Paired with fluffy jasmine rice, and homemade bang bang sauce, you've got a full Japanese steakhouse meal.

Instructions
START WITH...
Collecting all your ingredients - This will make cooking so much easier. Gather all the spices you will need, and keep them nearby.
Make the bang bang sauce - Mix together the bang bang sauce, and set aside.
Bring the steak to room temperature - Take your steak out of the fridge 10-15 minutes before searing.
- Sear the steak: Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. In a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, sear the steaks for 1 ½ minutes on each side in a thin layer of olive oil, until a crust has developed on each side.
- Cut the steak: While the steak is in the pan, use a small pairing knife to cut the steak into-sized pieces. The steak will still be undercooked in the middle, that is what you want!
- Make the sauce: Add the butter, garlic, soy sauce and oyster sauce to the pan. Coat the steak, and let it continue to sear and cook in the sauce. For medium doneness, the steak will only need to sear in the sauce for 2-3 minutes.
Expert Tip
Use fresh garlic! Avoid using jarred minced garlic for this recipe. Because the garlic is one of the stars of the sauce, you want the taste and flavour of fresh garlic! While jarred garlic is convenient, the flavour is not the same as fresh.
Substitutions
- Striploin steak - Feel free to use your favourite cut of steak, including ribeye or a filet as well!
- Soy sauce - You can substitute with tamari or coconut aminos
- Oyster sauce - Use some teriyaki sauce instead!
Variations
- Spicy - Add some red chilli, sriracha or chilli oil for a kick!
- Deluxe - Saute mushrooms with the beef!
