'Hanabi' is the Japanese word for fireworks and that's a perfect descriptor for this new steak from Yoshinoya. The new Hanabi Hot Ribeye Steak starts with a juicy and tender [ribeye steak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chargrilled-sirloin-steak) that has been seared, grilled, and glazed with the chain's signature Hanabi Hot sauce. The whole thing is then topped off with a simple garnish of green onions and sesame seeds to bring all the flavors together. The new steak option can be enjoyed as part of an [entree bowl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-seoul-bowl) or on its own as a side order.
