Asian Steak Roll Ups
Description
The Asian Steak Roll Ups use thin slices of sirloin or top round steak filled with a medley of lightly sautéed vegetables. The vegetables are quickly cooked until just crisp-tender, retaining their bright color and natural bite. The roll ups are brushed with a marinade combining reduced sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and optional sriracha for balanced seasoning with a touch of heat.
Cooking these roll ups on a grill imparts charred spots and seals in juices, while the sesame seeds and fresh cilantro garnish add a subtle crunch and freshness. The crisp vegetables inside contrast with the savory, tender beef wrap for a textured bite. Serving with the reserved marinade makes a flavorful dipping sauce.
This dish works well as a main course or appetizer and showcases the interplay of marinated grilled beef and fresh vegetable filling, making it visually appealing and flavorful without heavy sauces or complex preparations.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces asparagus trimmed
- 2 carrot peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 1 red bell pepper cut into matchsticks
- 1 zucchini cut into matchsticks
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 1 ½ pounds sirloin steak thin-sliced, or top round steak
- 2 tablespoons cilantro fresh, chopped leaves
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
For the marinade
- ½ cup soy sauce reduced sodium
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sriracha optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and Sriracha; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, asparagus, carrots, bell pepper and zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Cut beef into 8 serving-size pieces, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness, if needed.
- Working one at a time, top each beef slice with vegetables, roll up and secure with a toothpick. Reserving 2 tablespoons, brush soy sauce mixture onto the roll ups and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill or place a grill pan over medium high heat.
- Add roll ups to the grill, seam-side down, and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately with remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce mixture, garnished with cilantro and sesame seeds, if desired.
