How to Make Benihana Hibachi Meat

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 2 tablespoons sake, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. Add 1 lb of your choice of protein (steak, chicken, shrimp, or scallops) to the marinade. Ensure the meat is fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
  3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the hot pan.
  4. Add the marinated protein to the hot pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side for steak, until cooked through. Chicken and shrimp will cook faster, around 2-3 minutes per side for chicken and 1-2 minutes per side for shrimp. Scallops only require 2-3 minutes total, searing quickly on one side then flipping once.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite Benihana sides, such as fried rice, vegetables, and yum yum sauce.
