For the Hibachi Steak Bites:
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine the steak bites with soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Cook the Steak: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or griddle over high heat. Add the steak bites, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking. Near the end of cooking, add butter to the skillet and allow it to melt and slightly brown, giving the steak a rich flavor. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if using.
For the Fried Rice:
- Prep the Ingredients: Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry until they are heated through.
- Cook the Eggs: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the cleared space. Scramble the eggs, mixing them with the vegetables once cooked.
- Combine with Rice: Add the day-old rice to the skillet. Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice. Fry by stirring frequently to combine all ingredients well and to prevent the rice from sticking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
