Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
200g thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin preferred)
100g fresh enoki mushrooms
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine)
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Rinse the enoki mushrooms gently, trim off the root ends, and pat dry. Lay the thin slices of beef flat on a cutting board, ready for wrapping.
- Assemble the Rolls: Place a small bundle of enoki mushrooms at one end of each beef slice. Roll the beef tightly around the mushrooms, seasoning each roll lightly with salt and pepper.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, minced garlic, and sesame oil. This sauce will provide a rich umami glaze.
- Cook the Rolls: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface. Place the beef rolls seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Pour the sauce over the rolls halfway through and allow it to reduce slightly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the rolls from the skillet and let rest for one minute. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms like shiitake or oyster mushrooms.
For a gluten-free version, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce in place of regular soy sauce.
To add a bit more texture, consider adding vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to the rolls.
For added spice, try adding chili flakes to the sauce or drizzling the rolls with a spicy sauce before serving.
