Main Ingredients
- 200g thinly sliced well-marbled beef
- 100g fresh enoki mushrooms, root trimmed
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin (or rice wine)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gently wash the enoki mushrooms and trim off their root base. Lay the thin beef slices on a clean surface and season lightly with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger to infuse aromatic flavors.
- Roll the Enoki Mushrooms in Beef: Place a small handful of enoki mushrooms on one edge of each beef slice and roll tightly to encase the mushrooms securely inside.
- Heat and Sear the Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each beef roll until browned on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, to lock in juices and develop a caramelized crust.
- Add Sauce and Simmer: Mix soy sauce with mirin and pour the mixture over the seared rolls. Reduce the heat to low and let the rolls simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and/or chopped green onions on top before plating to enhance flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Slice the beef as thinly as possible for easy rolling and a tender bite.
- Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, ensuring each piece browns nicely.
- Use fresh enoki mushrooms for the best texture and mild flavor.
- Marinate the beef briefly (about 15 minutes) to infuse flavor without overpowering the mushrooms.
- Roll firmly to keep mushrooms secure and ensure even cooking.
