How to Make Negima Beef Scallion Rolls

  1. Prepare your grill: Start a charcoal or wood fire, preheat a gas grill to high, or preheat your broiler.
  2. Marinate the scallions: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Add 1 cup scallions (about 4-5 large scallions), trimmed and cut into 4-inch lengths, and let them soak while preparing the meat.
  3. Prepare the meat: If using beef sirloin, aim for about 1 pound. For easier slicing, consider freezing it slightly beforehand. Alternatively, use 1 pound of thinly sliced pork, chicken, or veal cutlets.
  4. Pound the meat: Place each piece of meat between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound with a meat mallet to 1/8 inch thickness.
  5. Brush with soy sauce: Brush one side of each meat slice with a thin layer of soy sauce.
  6. Assemble the rolls: Remove scallions from marinade. Place a small bundle of marinated scallions at one end of each meat slice (soy sauce side down).
  7. Roll and secure: Tightly roll the meat around the scallions and secure with toothpicks.
  8. Brush with marinade: Brush the outside of each roll with the remaining marinade.
  9. Grill to perfection: Grill or broil the rolls, turning occasionally, until nicely browned on all sides. Cooking times vary by protein: Chicken (6 minutes), Pork/Veal (4-5 minutes), Beef (4 minutes or less).
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Negima Beef Scallion Rolls!
