Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin or NY strip steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch sticks
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining vegetable oil and sesame oil to the same pan. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and onions, sautéing for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add the zucchini and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
- Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, and honey. Pour this sauce into the pan with the vegetables.
- Return the steak to the pan. Stir everything together and let the sauce simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter.
- Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve hot with hibachi fried rice or yum yum sauce on the side.
