Beef Negimaki
Beef Negimaki is a Japanese-inspired dish featuring thinly sliced beef wrapped around scallions. The beef is seasoned lightly and dusted with potato starch before being seared, which helps create a tender yet slightly crisp exterior. The scallions inside add a fresh, mild onion flavor and a tender bite when cooked through, making this roll a satisfying appetizer or light entrée.

Ingredients
- 100 grams scallions
- 200 grams beef (thinly sliced for sukiyaki)
- 2 teaspoons potato starch
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Trim the ends off 100 grams scallions and then cut them a little wider than the width of your sheets of beef. If your green onions are thicker than ¼-inch, you'll want to split the stems in half vertically so they'll cook through evenly.
- Lay down a sheet of thinly sliced beef. If your meat slices are too small, stagger several smaller sheets, overlapping them by an inch so you have a sheet at least 6x4 inches (15x9cm).
- Add a mixture of scallion stems and greens to one side of your sheet of beef and roll them tightly with the beef, being careful not to tear the meat. Your roll should be about two layers of beef thick. Repeat with the rest of the beef and scallions.
- Add 2 teaspoons potato starch to a tea strainer and lightly dust all sides of the beef. Roll the rolls around to dust off any excess starch and coat any spots you've missed. Pay particular attention to the seams; otherwise, the rolls may open while cooking.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat until moderately hot.
- Add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil to the hot skillet, then carefully place the negimaki rolls with the seam side down.
- Brown on one side and then roll the rolls onto another side to brown. Repeat until the rolls are browned on all sides.
- Use a paper towel to soak up any excess oil in the pan.
- Add 1 ½ tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons sake, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce to the pan. Continue cooking the negimaki beef while rolling them around in the teriyaki sauce until it's thickened and the roll-ups are coated in a thick glaze. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve over steamed rice.
