Beef Rolls With Asparagus Recipes

BEEF ROLLS WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Remove hard part of the asparagus stem at lower end and cut into half length each (Note 3).
• Boil water in a pan, add a pinch of salt and par boil asparagus for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain.
• Spread a beef slice on a cutting board, place 3 pieces of asparagus at the end closer to you and roll forward. The asparagus should be wrapped in 2 layers of the beef.
• Repeat and wrap the rest of the asparagus with beef. This will make 6 uncooked beef rolls.
• Heat a frying pan with oil over medium high heat. Add beef rolls and cook, rolling them occasionally to brown beef rolls evenly. When surface of the beef is slightly burnt all over (a couple of minutes), remove excess oil with kitchen paper as the sauce will not coat the beef well if there is too much oil.
• Add Sauce ingredients to the pan and coat the beef roll with the sauce.
• When the sauce is almost evaporated, turn the heat off and remove the beef rolls onto a cutting board.
• Cut each roll into 3 or 4cm (1¼-1½") depending on the length of the roll and your preference. Place the rolls upright on a plate and serve. (Note 4)

• Blanch asparagus spears for 1 minute; drain and plunge in an ice water bath to stop cooking.
• In a small saucepan combine soy sauce, sugar, mirin (or dry sherry), ginger, and garlic; heat over medium heat until reduced and slightly thickened; set aside to cool.
• Cut green onions in fourths, lengthwise, so you have long strips.
• Slice beef in 1/4 inch slices, then pound to tenderize and thin out.
• Dip beef slice in soy sauce mixture and place on a clean work surface; season with pepper.
• Place an asparagus spear and a piece of green onion on the beef slice and roll up.

NEGIMAKI

Steps:

• Stir together the soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a pie dish or similar shallow container until the sugar is almost dissolved. Set the marinade aside.
• Cut the beef with the grain into 24 slices, each about 1/2 inch thick. Working in batches, arrange a few slices cut-side up on a piece of plastic wrap, leaving a few inches between each slice. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until the slices are 1/8 inch thick or a little less.
• Lay 3 slices on a work surface parallel to you with the long sides slightly overlapping (by about 1/4 inch). Cut 3 pieces of scallion the same width as the beef and place them across the meat at the end closest to you. Tightly roll the meat around the scallions, starting at the end closest to you. Secure the roll with 2 toothpicks--1 placed horizontally along each of the 2 "seams." Repeat with the remaining beef and scallions. You will end up with 8 rolls.
• Place the rolls in the marinade, turn to coat and marinate, turning once halfway through, for about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate, letting any excess marinade drain off, and pat dry (reserve the marinade).
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rolls and brown on 4 sides, 3 or 4 minutes total (the middle should still be rare). When you flip the rolls the last time, reduce the heat to medium, add the reserved marinade and simmer, turning the rolls a few times, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. (The meat should still be pink in the middle at this point. If you prefer your meat more well done, simmer it a little longer; just be careful not to reduce the sauce too much. If that happens, thin it with a little water.)
• Transfer the rolls to a cutting board and, when cool enough to handle, remove the toothpicks. Using a very sharp knife, cut the rolls crosswise into pieces about 1 inch wide and serve upright on plates. Drizzle with the sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.

STEAK ROLL-UPS

Add the asparagus, cover the pot (leaving the lid slightly ajar), and steam the asparagus until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on thickness. Transfer the asparagus to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the horseradish and sour cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Lay 1 1/2 ounces of the beef on a flat work surface or cutting board. Spread one-quarter (about 1/2 tablespoon) of the horseradish mixture over the beef, leaving a small border. Place 3 asparagus spears at one of the narrower ends of each beef slice so the tips hang over. Roll the beef around the bundle of asparagus until you reach the other end of the beef. Repeat with the remaining roast beef, horseradish mixture, and asparagus to create 3 more roll-ups. Serve immediately.
