Beef Negimaki 牛肉のネギ巻き
Beef Negimaki is a Japanese-inspired dish featuring thinly sliced beef rolled around blanched scallions and parboiled vegetables like carrots and green beans. The rolls are coated in flour and pan-fried until browned, then finished with a glaze made from garlic, sesame oil, sake, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. This combination yields tender meat with a flavorful, slightly sweet sauce and crisp-tender vegetable filling, creating a balanced texture and taste.

Ingredients
- 300 g beef 1, thinly sliced
- 8 scallions blanched
- ¼ carrot Parboiled *2
- 8 green beans Parboiled
- 1 tbs plain flour or potato starch (Katakuriko
Sauce
- 1 clove garlic mashed
- 1 tbs sesame oil
- 3 tbs sake *3
- 1 tbs soy sauce
- 1 tbs oyster sauce
- 1 tbs sugar
Instructions
- Cut the blanched scallions into 5cm (2 inch) wide strips. Cut carrots into sticks and cut green beans in half then parboil them and set aside.
- Lay the thinly slice beef on a chopping board and place prepared scallions and vegetables on the beef then tightly roll it up. The beef strip should be about 20cm (8 inch) long. If the meat is shorter than that, overwrap beef slices slightly to make it 20cm (8 inch) long.
- You can secure by using a toothpick to tie the end of the meat (optional)
- Repeat this same process until all the beef is used (I made about 8 negimaki out of 300 g beef)
- Cover the roll ups with flour.
- Heat a little sesame oil in a frying pan over medium heat and place the beef roll ups in the pan.
- Cook one side for about 2- 3 minutes or until browned with a lid on.
- Turn the beef roll ups over and cook the other side for a further 2-3 minutes.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients and pour over the beef roll ups in the frying pan to sizzle.
- Serve with green salad and rice.

Notes
- Thinly slice beef by freezing it briefly to ease cutting if pre-sliced beef is unavailable.
- Alternate proteins such as thinly sliced pork belly can be used in place of beef.
- Vegetables like asparagus or capsicum may replace carrots and green beans for variation.
- If sake or oyster sauce is unavailable, dry sherry or teriyaki sauce can substitute in the sauce.
