Ingredients
For the rolls:
- 2 pounds beef tenderloin
- 8 scallions
- 2 teaspoons Morton kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the sauce:
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons sake
Instructions
- Cut the beef tenderloin into 4 pieces, against the grain. Place the steak between plastic wrap and pound it with a meat tenderizer into 1/8"-thick pieces.
- Lay out the beef pieces, sprinkle with salt & pepper, and place 2 scallions on top of each one. Roll up the beef tightly around the scallions and secure with toothpicks.
- In a small pot, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sake. Mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the temperature to medium and let simmer for 4-5 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the beef rolls and coat them with the soy sauce mixture 2 times during cooking. Turn the rolls to cook evenly on each side for 2-3 minutes, until they are browned.
- Pour the remaining soy sauce mixture over the beef rolls and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and the beef is cooked through.
- Remove the toothpicks and slice the beef rolls into bite-sized pieces. Serve hot as an appetizer or with rice and your choice of vegetables as a meal.
