Make authentic Benihana Hibachi Steak at home with this easy copycat recipe. Tender marinated beef and mushrooms cooked to perfection in a savory soy-ginger sauce.
Combine all marinade ingredients and place the steak in the marinade.
Marinate the steak at least 1 hour before cooking.
Remove the steak from the marinade and cut it into bite-size pieces.
Heat a skillet to medium-high.
Add oil and then the steak pieces. Stir occasionally as they are cooking so they will be cooked on all sides.
When the steak pieces are close to being cooked through, add the mushrooms. Add more soybean oil if needed.
Season steak and mushrooms with salt and pepper.
Cook until the steak is done and the mushrooms are tender.
Recipe Tips
For the most authentic Benihana experience, invest in a large, flat-top griddle or cast-iron surface that can achieve high heat. The restaurant's signature sizzle comes from cooking at temperatures between 450-500°F, which creates perfect caramelization. Also, don't be afraid to salt generously right before serving—this final seasoning makes all the flavors pop, just like at the restaurant.
