Description

Teppanyaki at home is a fun, flavorful Japanese-style dinner cooked on a griddle or pan with seared meats, veggies, and bold sauces – no special equipment needed.

If you do want to cook it on a classic-style teppanyaki griddle, though, here is a link to the one I used.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 yellow onion, finely grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, grated or minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili crisp (optional, for heat)

For the Teppanyaki:

*Feel free to use any vegetable or protein you want. These are just my personal favorites!

  • 1/2 kabocha squash, thinly sliced (seeds removed)
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds or half-moons
  • 1 cup shimeji mushrooms, trimmed and separated
  • 10 - 12 oz steak (ribeye or sirloin recommended, ~1 inch thick)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, sugar, and optional chili crisp. Set aside.
  2. Set your teppanyaki griddle or skillet to 400°F.
  3. Lightly oil the griddle and add the kabocha, zucchini, and shimeji mushrooms. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until softened and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper.
  5. Add a little olive oil to the hot griddle and place the steak on the griddle. Cook for 1 minute per side.
  6. Use tongs to press and rotate the edges of the steak against the teppanyaki to brown all sides (about 1 minute total).
  7. Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 3 minutes.
  8. Return the steak to the griddle and sear again for 60 seconds per side for extra caramelization.
  9. Slice the steak, serve with the grilled veggies, and drizzle with the sauce. Enjoy hot off the griddle for that classic teppanyaki feel!
