Ingredients
Scale
For the Steak
- 1½ lbs NY Strip Steak
- 2 tbs low sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
- 2 tbs sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbs ginger paste
- 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbs honey (optional)
For the Fried Rice
- 6 cups cooked and cooled Basmati rice
- 2 tbs sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 eggs
- 12 oz bag frozen vegetables, thawed
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbs butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbs ginger paste
- 1 tbs sesame seeds
For the Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbs Sriracha
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger paste, Worcestershire sauce, and honey if using. This mixture will impart a savory and slightly sweet flavor to the steak.
- Marinate the Steak: Coat the NY Strip steaks evenly with the marinade and set aside to absorb the flavors for at least 10 minutes while preparing the fried rice. For deeper flavor, marinate longer if time permits.
- Heat Cooking Surface: Preheat a griddle or two pans on high heat for about 4 minutes until hot. This ensures a good sear on the steak and helps develop a flavorful crust on the fried rice.
- Cook Fried Rice: Add sesame oil to the hot pan(s), then add cooked basmati rice, diced onion, and eggs. Stir and toss the mixture continuously to scramble the eggs and evenly heat the rice for about 3 minutes.
- Add Vegetables and Flavorings: Stir in the thawed frozen vegetables, then season with 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, butter, minced garlic, ginger paste, and sesame seeds. Continue cooking and stirring for about 5 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms and the flavors meld.
- Cook the Steak: While the fried rice is cooking, place the marinated steaks onto the hot griddle or pan. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare (adjust time according to your desired doneness). Let the steak rest a few minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, Sriracha, and salt to taste. This spicy-sweet sauce complements the richness of the steak and fried rice perfectly.
- Serve: Slice the rested steak against the grain, plate it alongside the golden fried rice, and drizzle or serve the spicy mayo sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your homemade hibachi steakhouse experience!
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Use day-old or thoroughly cooled rice to prevent sogginess in fried rice.
- You can substitute NY Strip steak for ribeye or sirloin as preferred.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the sauce to control spiciness level.
- To keep it gluten-free, ensure soy sauce is tamari or a gluten-free brand.
