# Preparation Steps:

01 - Combine steak cubes with soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, and black pepper in a bowl. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing remaining ingredients.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated steak and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned but still tender. Transfer steak to a plate and set aside.
03 - Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the same pan. Sauté onion, carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender.
04 - Push vegetables to the side of the pan. Pour beaten eggs into the cleared space and scramble until just cooked through.
05 - Add rice, peas, and cooked steak to the pan. Drizzle with soy sauce and toss all ingredients together, breaking up any clumps of rice.
06 - Stir in butter and half the green onions. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and slightly crispy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
07 - Transfer to serving plates immediately. Garnish with sesame seeds and additional green onions if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • One-Pan Efficiency: Everything cooks in a single skillet or wok, making cleanup a breeze.
  • Balanced Meal: Packed with protein from the steak and eggs, plus a variety of colorful vegetables.
  • Hibachi Flavor: The combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, and butter delivers that signature Japanese-American grill taste.
02 -
  • Use Cold Rice: For the best texture, use cold, day-old jasmine rice. Freshly cooked rice has too much moisture and can lead to a mushy final dish.
  • High Heat is Crucial: Ensure your pan is very hot before adding the steak to get a good sear without overcooking the center.
  • Don't Overcrowd: If your skillet is small, cook the steak in batches to maintain high heat.
