Description

Beef Enoki Rolls are a delicious and elegant appetizer or main dish featuring thinly sliced beef wrapped around delicate enoki mushrooms. These savory rolls are pan-seared to perfection and glazed with a flavorful soy-based sauce, making them a perfect blend of tender meat and tender-crisp mushrooms. Garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, they pair wonderfully with steamed rice or vegetables.

Instructions

Prepare the Beef and Mushrooms: Lay the thinly sliced beef flat on a clean surface. Take small bunches of enoki mushrooms (about 10-15 mushrooms per roll) and place them at one end of each beef slice.
Roll the Beef: Roll the beef around the enoki mushrooms, securing them with toothpicks if necessary. Repeat until all beef slices are rolled up.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce (if using), rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is well-mixed.
Heat the Pan: Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Sear the Beef Rolls: Add the beef rolls to the pan and sear on all sides, turning occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and browned. If browning too quickly, reduce heat to medium.
Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked beef rolls. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the rolls as it thickens slightly.
Remove and Serve: Remove the beef rolls from the skillet and discard any toothpicks if used.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve hot alongside steamed rice or vegetables.

Notes

Use thinly sliced beef such as sirloin, flank steak, or rib-eye for easy rolling and tenderness.
Trim the woody ends of the enoki mushrooms before rolling.
Secure rolls with toothpicks if the beef is not holding the mushrooms tightly.
If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a small amount of chili flakes or sriracha.
Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the beef slices to avoid overcooking.
Oyster sauce can be omitted for a less intense flavor or to keep it vegetarian-optional when using plant-based beef substitutes.
This dish pairs well with steamed rice, noodles, or stir-fried vegetables for a complete meal.
