Japanese teriyaki steak roll-ups

Recipe adapted from: https://www.justonecookbook.com/soy-glazed-vegetable-beef-rolls/

Ingredients:

Ingredients

  • 3 oz carrot (peeled and cut into 2 inch thin sticks)
  • 3 oz French green beans (haricots verts)
  • ½ lb thinly sliced beef (chuck or rib eye) (Japanese grocery stores sell pre-sliced chuck or ribeye meat for "shabu shabu" and usually each package is about ½-¾ lb.  Alternatively, you can freeze a block of chuck, rib eye, sirloin, or top round steak and thinly cut the meat. Here's my tutorial on how to thinly slice the meat.)
  • kosher/sea salt (I use Diamond Crystal; use half for table salt)
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp neutral-flavored oil (vegetable, rice bran, canola, etc)
  • 2 Tbsp sake

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 Tbsp sake
  • 1 Tbsp mirin

Instructions;

  • Peel the carrot and cut into 2 inch thin sticks.
  • In a small saucepan, fill enough water to blanch the vegetables. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, add in carrots and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add green beans to cook another minute. Cooking time may vary depending on the amount and thickness of veggies.  Drain well and set aside.
  • Place a slice of meat on the cutting board, and sprinkle salt and pepper. Then put green beans and carrots on one end of the meat and start rolling them up. (Note: I also added a similar length of scallion in the roll up)
  • Combine all the ingredients for Teriyaki Sauce. 
    In a frying pan, heat oil on medium high heat. When it’s hot, place the steak rolls gently with the seam line facing down. Cook one side of steak rolls until nicely charred, then rotate to the next side. 
  • Once all sides of the meat have nice char, reduce the heat to medium and add sake. Cook covered till sake is evaporated. 
  • Add the Teriyaki sauce and rotate the steak rolls so they are evenly coated with the sauce.  Transfer the steak rolls to a serving plate. 
  • Reduce the Teriyaki Sauce in half, or until it's thickened.  Pour the sauce on the steak rolls and serve immediately.
