Ingredients
Scale
Beef Rolls
- 12 slices thinly sliced beef
- 1 pack enoki mushrooms, split into 12 pieces
- ½ small yellow onion, sliced
- 2 large eggs
Sauce
- 1 cup dashi broth (homemade or instant dashi powder dissolved in water)
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- 1 stalk green onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: Split the enoki mushrooms into 12 portions. Slice the yellow onion thinly and lightly sauté or set aside raw based on preference for texture in the rolls.
- Assemble the beef rolls: Lay out each slice of thinly sliced beef flat. Place one portion of enoki mushrooms and a small amount of sliced onion on one edge of each beef slice. Roll the beef tightly around the mushrooms and onion.
- Cook the rolls: Beat the 2 eggs and heat a pan over medium heat, lightly oiling it. Dip each beef roll briefly into the beaten egg then place in the pan. Cook the rolls on all sides until beef is browned and cooked through, and the egg coating is set, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the dashi broth, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to develop flavor.
- Finish the dish: Place cooked beef rolls on a serving plate, pour the warm sauce over them, and garnish with diced green onion and sesame seeds for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute beef with thinly sliced pork or chicken breast if preferred.
- Dashi broth can be made from scratch using kombu and bonito flakes or substituted with instant dashi powder for convenience.
- Adjust the amount of sugar in the sauce to taste for a sweeter or more savory profile.
- Serve as an appetizer or with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
