Lately I’ve been craving hibachi steak and shrimp. We were even on our way to the restaurant when my son vetoed therefore we went elsewhere. However with the big game coming up on Sunday I decide to make this low carb hibachi steak appetizer with the classic ginger and yum yum sauces. I also added some vegetables and shrimp because they were low carb and make for a big appetizer platter. It was YUMMY and satisfied my craving!

The brown ginger dipping sauce and the creamy yum yum sauce go great with the steak, shrimp and the vegetables.

Hibachi Ginger and Yum Yum Sauces

These sauces are easy to make and when you use Swerve sweetener, they are low carb too. I personally liked the yum yum sauce better but husband preferred the ginger sauce. (side note: I’ve been eating the yum yum sauce with steamed asparagus, broccoli and brussels sprouts and it’s delicious!)

The ginger sauce is made from fresh grated ginger, soy, onion, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, Swerve brown sugar and sesame oil. The yum yum sauce ingredients are mayo, tomato paste, Swerve sweetener, garlic, paprika, butter and cayenne powder.

This low carb hibachi steak appetizer is great for football parties!

What type of beef to use

I wasn’t sure what kind of beef to use so I ask the very helpful butcher at Giant Eagle. I knew I wanted Certified Angus Beef® because the steak was going to be the star of this dish and I wanted it to be tender and delicious. The butcher suggested I use sirloin steak and so that was what I used. It was delicious ! I will definitely be making this for dinner again real soon.

Use a good sirloin steak for this recipe because you want tender, delicious meat!

How to cook the steak

I like to use a cast iron skillet to cook my steaks and burgers to get that nice brown sear. First cut the steak in equal bite sized pieces and liberally sprinkle salt and pepper. Add some butter to a hot pan and cook the meat for about 3 minutes. Don’t mix them, let them sear. Then flip them and cook another 3 minutes. That’s all I did but in case you made bigger chuck, cut one open to see if it’s cooked.

Hibachi Steak Appetizer Recipe

When the steak is cooking microwave your vegetables for 3 minutes. After you cook the steak, take it out and let it rest. Add a bit more butter in the pan along with the vegetables and cook for 3 more minutes. Add in the shrimp and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Lastly add back the beef and sprinkle the sesame oil all over. Mix well and cook for a minute to infuse with the sesame oil.

You can make the sauces a day ahead of time if you wish as well as cut up the meat and vegetables then too. That way you only have to do a quick stir fry to make this low carb appetizer!
