Teriyaki Steak Rolls

Instructions

1. Peel 3 oz carrots and cut into matchsticks 2 inches long. Trim the ends of 3 oz French green beans (haricots verts).
2. Bring a small sauce pan of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the carrots and cook for 1–2 minutes, then add the green beans to cook another minute. The cooking time may vary depending on the amount and thickness of the vegetables. Drain well and set aside.
3. Place a slice of meat on the cutting board and sprinkle it with Diamond Crystal kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Then, put a few green beans and carrots on one end of the meat and start rolling it up. Repeat with the remaining ½ lb thinly sliced ​​beef (such as ribeye) and vegetables.
4. Combine all the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce: 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp sake, and 1 Tbsp mirin. Mix well to dissolve the sugar.
5. In a frying pan, heat 1 Tbsp neutral oil on medium-high heat. When it's hot, place the steak rolls gently in the pan with the seam side down. Cook one side of the rolls until nicely charred, then rotate to cook the next side.
6. Once all sides of the meat have a nice char, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 Tbsp sake. Cook covered until the sake is evaporated.
7. Add the teriyaki sauce and rotate the steak rolls so they are evenly coated with the sauce. Transfer the steak rolls to a serving plate.
8. Reduce the teriyaki sauce in half, or until it's thickened. Drizzle the sauce on the steak rolls and serve immediately.
