Cook It Like a Pro
1. Steak
-
Heat pan on high, add 1 tbsp oil
-
Season steak generously
-
Sear 2–3 min per side (don’t crowd the pan)
-
Add butter + garlic in last 30 seconds
-
Toss, remove, tent loosely with foil
2. Scallops (Do Not Touch Them Too Much)
-
Same hot pan, fresh oil
-
Season scallops lightly
-
Sear 1½–2 min per side
-
Golden crust = done
(If they stick, they’re not ready yet)
3. Veggies
-
Toss veggies in pan with butter + soy sauce
-
Cook until tender with crispy edges
4. Hibachi Fried Rice (Optional but Highly Recommended)
-
Melt butter in pan
-
Scramble egg, push aside
-
Add rice, let it sit (crispy bottom = flavor)
-
Soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions
-
Toss like you mean it
Bring It Together
-
Add steak & scallops back to pan
-
Splash soy + teriyaki
-
Toss for 30 seconds only
Serve With
-
Yum Yum sauce or spicy mayo
