Instructions
Preheat the Grill
Turn the hibachi grill on high heat and let it reach about 450°F (232°C).
Time: PT5M

Oil the Cooking Surface
Using a brush, spread a thin, even layer of vegetable oil over the grill grates.

Crack the two eggs onto the oiled grill, spread them into a thin layer, let the bottom set, then roll the egg into a roll and finish cooking the other side.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 450°F
Chop Vegetables & Garlic
Dice the onion, slice the mushrooms, cut the zucchini into half‑moons, mince the garlic, and separate the white and green parts of the green onions.
Time: PT5M
Prepare Fried Rice
Add a splash of oil to the grill, toss in the minced garlic and onion mix, sauté briefly, then add the cooked rice. Stir‑in butter, season with a pinch of salt, low‑volume pepper, and drizzle soy sauce for color. Toss until every grain is glossy.
Time: PT8M

Grill the Steak
Place the steak on the hot grill. Sear 2‑3 minutes per side, then add butter, minced garlic, a splash of soy sauce, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Flip once more to coat the butter‑garlic mixture, then remove when the interior reaches about 135°F (57°C) for medium‑rare.
