Ingredients

• 400 grams thinly sliced beef (such as ribeye or sirloin)
• 6 stalks scallions (green onions)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons sake
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil (such as vegetable oil)
• 12 pieces toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Trim the roots and dark green tops from the scallions, leaving only the white and light green portions. Cut each scallion into 2-inch-long pieces, resulting in approximately 12 pieces total.

Step 2

Lay a slice of beef on a clean cutting board. Place a piece of scallion at one end, then roll the beef tightly around the scallion. Repeat with the remaining beef and scallion pieces.

Step 3

Secure each roll with a toothpick to prevent unrolling during cooking.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, creating a glaze sauce. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat the sesame oil and neutral cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Place the beef rolls seam-side down into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning to sear evenly, until the beef is browned and cooked through.

Step 7

Once the beef rolls are cooked, pour the prepared sauce over them. Reduce the heat to medium and let the sauce simmer for about 1-2 minutes, allowing it to thicken and glaze the rolls.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the rolls to a serving plate. Discard toothpicks before serving.

Step 9

Serve immediately as an appetizer or with steamed rice for a main dish. Enjoy!
