How to Make Beef Negamaki

  1. **Prep the Scallions:** Microwave thinly sliced scallions in a loosely covered pie plate on high for 1 minute to soften.
  2. **Pound the Steaks:** Place each steak between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound each steak to approximately 8x6 inches and 1/8-inch thick.
  3. **Assemble the Rolls:** Lay 3 scallions lengthwise down the center of each steak.
  4. **Roll and Secure:** Tightly roll each steak up from a long side, securing with 3-4 wooden toothpicks.
  5. **Marinate:** Place the rolled steaks in a large zip-top bag.
  6. **Make the Glaze:** In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, and water until the sugar dissolves.
  7. **Marinate (cont.):** Pour 1/3 cup of the glaze into the bag with the steak rolls. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  8. **Grill the Negamaki:** Preheat your outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
  9. **Grilling:** Grill the negamaki for 5 minutes, turning frequently to brown all sides.
  10. **Finishing Touches:** Remove the negamaki from the grill, discard the marinade, and remove the toothpicks.
  11. **Slice and Serve:** Trim the ends of the negamaki and cut alternately straight across and diagonally into 2-inch lengths.
  12. **Heat the Glaze (optional):** Microwave the remaining glaze for 30 seconds to 1 minute to warm. Drizzle over the sliced negamaki.
  13. **Serve:** Serve the Beef Negamaki immediately with cooked rice and your favorite Asian-style vegetables.
