Scale
Beef and Mushrooms
- 300g thinly sliced sirloin or ribeye beef
- 1 bunch fresh enoki mushrooms (trimmed and dried)
Marinade & Flavorings
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tbsp mirin or sake
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or freshly grated
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- Optional: 1/2 tsp chili flakes or sliced fresh chili for heat
For Cooking and Garnish
- 1 tbsp vegetable or neutral oil for pan-frying
- Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Clean and trim the enoki mushrooms by removing the root ends, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin or sake, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Add the thinly sliced beef and coat each piece evenly in the marinade. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay one slice of marinated beef flat, place a small bundle of enoki mushrooms on one edge, sprinkle with chopped green onions and optional chili flakes if desired, then roll the beef tightly around the mushrooms to seal.
- Cook the Rolls: Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. Place the beef rolls seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Turn rolls to cook evenly on all sides until the beef is cooked through and tender.
- Serve with Sauce: Transfer cooked rolls to a serving plate and drizzle with reserved marinade or serve alongside dipping sauces like ponzu or teriyaki for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Use thin beef slices (~1/8 inch) to ensure easy rolling and quick cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to allow even browning and crispiness.
- Ensure enoki mushrooms are dry before wrapping to prevent sogginess.
- Use toothpicks if needed to secure the rolls during cooking.
- Let cooked rolls rest for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute for better taste.
