Important Ingredients

Beef Thinly Sliced – This beef negimaki dish requires thinly sliced meat. The meat must be thin and flexible enough to roll and wrap around scallions.

Thinly sliced beef should be available at your local grocery store or butcher’s shop. If pre-sliced beef is unavailable, you can purchase a pound of flank steak and thinly slice it yourself.

Scallions (scallions) – Scallions, often known as green onions, are bright green aromatic vegetables. They have a mellow, fresh flavor that is comparable to onions and are popular in Asian cuisine.

Simply slice off and discard the root ends of the scallions to prepare them for this meal. After that, cut each scallion in half to get two shorter pieces. You may roll them into the beef after they’re in two parts.

Sake – Another famous Asian component is sake, a Japanese alcoholic beverage. The alcohol in this beef negimaki dish helps to tenderize the steak while also carrying flavor.

Don’t worry, the alcohol will be cooked out during the cooking process. If you don’t have any sake, you can use more mirin or rice vinegar.

Chef’s Advice

• To help you roll and secure this beef negimaki, use toothpicks! It may take a few tries to get the hang of this procedure. As a result, make your life easier by using toothpicks to assist you.
• Cook the sauce on low heat, stirring occasionally. Cooking the sauce at an excessively high temperature will not hasten the thickening process. Instead, it could cause the sugar to crystalize and burn, which we don’t want!
• Change up the fillings to your liking! Toss in some crispy carrots or asparagus with the scallions in this beef negimaki recipe. These buns can be filled with any sliced vegetable.
