Beef Negimaki Rolls with Scallions

"## Beef Negimaki: Japanese Beef & Scallion Rolls **Beef Negimaki** is a classic Japanese appetizer featuring thin slices of beef wrapped around scallions, then grilled or sautéed and finished with a salty-sweet sauce. It's a favorite in sushi houses and easy to make at home[3][4][5]. ### Ingredients **For the Beef** - 2 petite sirloin steaks (about 6 oz each), trimmed of excess fat - 2 scallions **For the Sauce** (common version) - 1/3 cup soy sauce - 1/2 cup mirin - 1/2 cup sake (or dry sherry/rice vinegar) - 2 tablespoons sugar[2][9] ### Instructions 1. **Prepare the Scallions** - Blanch scallions in boiling water for 30–40 seconds, then transfer to ice water to stop cooking[2]. 2. **Prepare the Beef** - Slice steaks against the grain into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Pound each slice to about 1/8 inch thickness[2][8]. 3. **Assemble Rolls** - Place 3–4 scallion pieces on each beef slice. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks[2][6]. 4. **Marinate** - Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Pour over beef rolls and marinate for 10–15 minutes[2][6]. 5. **Cook** - Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear rolls on all sides until browned and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes total)[5][6]. - Remove rolls and let rest. Pour remaining marinade into the pan and simmer until thickened to a glaze[6][8]. 6. **Slice and Serve** - Remove toothpicks, slice rolls into 1/2-inch pieces, and drizzle with sauce[6]. ### Tips - Flank steak, skirt steak, or thinly sliced beef for hot pot (sukiyaki) can be used[2][8]. - Asparagus can substitute for scallions[2]. - Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired[8]. Beef negimaki is quick, flavorful, and perfect as an appetizer or main dish[4][5].
