Enjoy the delectable taste of hibachi cooking with this Benihana copycat hibachi steak and shrimp recipe. This dish features succulent shrimp and a perfectly grilled medium-rare New York strip steak perfect for a weeknight feast.

I like to serve the shrimp with my homemade hibachi ginger sauce. The steak pairs wonderfully with hibachi mustard sauce. Enjoy!

Hibachi steak and shrimp is one of my favorite hibachi dinners, regardless of whether or not it's in one of the Japanese steakhouse restaurants or my own home. Once I cooked it for my family, I knew there was no need to go out when it was so easy to make.

I've picked up most of my hibachi cooking from Benihana chefs and referenced the many recipes posted on their website years ago. When I make these meals, they are pretty spot-on for not having that wonderful teppanyaki grill that hibachi chefs are cooking on.

❔ How To Make Hibachi Cooking Oil

This base cooking oil used by hibachi chefs combines four basic ingredients. Hibachi cooking oil is made with sesame seed oil, olive oil, rice cooking wine, and soy sauce.

Combine the two oils, rice cooking wine, and soy sauce in a sealable container like a jar or squeeze bottle for easy storage and use. Shake to combine before using.

🤔 What Kind of Steak Is Used For Hibachi Steak

Typically, a sirloin steak or strip steak (NY strip) is used for making hibachi steak dishes at your favorite Japanese steakhouse restaurants.

Since there is more marbling (white fat throughout the meat) in a strip steak, it is my recommended cut for making hibachi steak at home. That way, when you cut your meat into familiar bite-size chunks, the meat is more likely to stay tender.

🥘 Ingredients

All you need to do is pick up a New York strip, some juicy shrimp, and a handful of ingredients to tie them all together. First, you'll need to make a hibachi cooking oil to cook your meat in, but don't worry, it's incredibly easy!

• Olive Oil - 2 ½ tablespoons of olive oil (extra virgin).

• Salt & Pepper - 1 pinch of salt & pepper (more or less, to taste).

Shrimp

🔪 How To Make Hibachi Steak

Making a delicious hibachi dinner at home is beginner-friendly and only requires a few minutes of prep work.

For this hibachi dinner, you'll ideally need a Blackstone grill (or electric skillet or large skillet), a cutting board, some measuring utensils, and a mixing bowl.

This recipe will make 4 servings.

1. Prep. Bring a large skillet or griddle to medium-high heat, or bring an electric griddle to 360ºF (182ºC).
2. Heat oil. Add your hibachi cooking oil to the heated skillet. The oil should be shimmering when fully heated.
3. Cut steak. Cut steak into bite-size cubes and place it into your heated skillet with lemon juice. *It is up to your personal preferences if you want to cut the steak(s) into bite-size chunks prior to or after cooking. If you want to cook your strip steak or sirloin as a whole, cook for about 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook another 4 minutes on the second side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 4 minutes before cutting into cubes.
4. Cook steak. Cook the steak until seared on all sides and done to taste, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

🥗 What To Serve With Hibachi Dinner

💭 Tips & Notes

• Shrimp Selection: Opt for raw shrimp in this recipe for optimal flavor, though cooked shrimp is also an option. Remember, cooked shrimp will require a shorter searing time.
• Oil Alternatives: If sesame oil is unavailable, substitute it with a neutral oil such as olive oil, avocado oil, or vegetable oil.
• Cookware Options: A wok or cast iron pan can be used instead of an electric skillet. To ensure even cooking, avoid overcrowding the pan by cooking in batches.

🥡 Storing & Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight storage container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Alternatively, you can wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil.

Reheating

Reheat the steak and shrimp separately by adding them into a skillet with hibachi cooking oil until they are heated through to your liking.

You can also reheat them in the microwave on a microwave-safe plate with a damp paper towel on top. Heat in 30-second increments- be careful when using the microwave, as you can dry out the meat.
