Yield:
8 rolls

Ingredients

  • ½ pound flank steak, very thinly sliced into 8 pieces

  • 1 bunch scallions, halved lengthwise and crosswise

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons sake

  • 2 tablespoons prepared dashi stock

  • 2 tablespoons mirin

Directions

  1. Place 2 or 3 scallion pieces across a slice of beef and roll up tightly.

  2. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add beef rolls, seam-side down, and cook for 1 minute. Roll and cook to brown on all sides, about 5 minutes more.

  3. Add soy sauce, sugar, sake, and dashi to the skillet and cook, rolling beef to coat, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer beef to a plate and increase heat to reduce liquid, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mirin and return beef rolls to the skillet, rolling until well coated and heated through. Slice rolls in half to serve.

Cook's Notes:

Buy veal cut for scallopini or beef cut for braciole. The pieces should be about 3x6-inch rectangles.

Roll the long way; this will help keep the roll together. They can also be tied with chives or string (remove string before the last coating stage).

Dashi comes in dry powder form and is the base for miso soup, which is great with these.
