I’ve seen this recipe several times on different websites and books with a variations of flavour combinations and fillings. I was torn to what flavour combination I wanted to try it with till I saw a recipe using Yakitori sauce and thought – ‘Winner!!’
My first time making it, I trialed it on our good friends during our hot pot date at my house and what a success that was! We cooked it on the hot plate that surrounding my hot pot and I got my guests to brush yakitori sauce to finish the dish off….. – DIVINE!
I must admit the steak rolls did take a bit of finesse to maneuver into tight picture-perfect rolls but, nothing you can’t master by the 5th steak roll.
Ingredients
1 packet of Shabu-Shabu Beef Slices
200g Green Beans, Cut into 5cm
1 Carrot, Cut into Matchsticks, 5cm length
Handful of Enoki Mushrooms, base cut off
Bottle of Good Quality Yakitori sauce
Pepper
Butter
Salt
Method
- Defrost the shabu-shabu beef.
- Boil lightly salted water in a pot; when the water bubbles add the carrots. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add the Green Beans for a further 2-3minutes or until the veggies are still crisp but, soft enough to bite through.
- Drain the hot water from the pot and transfer the veggies into a bowl and put the bowl in the fridge to cool for 15minutes.
- Unroll the Shabu-Shabu beef slice onto the chopping board; Drizzle Black Pepper onto the beef slice; Layer couple of pieces of Green Beans, Carrots and Enoki mushrooms on one end of the Beef slice.
- Start rolling from the veggies end and make sure the steak completely covers the vegetables. Layer steak rolls 1cm apart. Crack some Black Pepper over the rolls.
- Heat a flat pan on medium heat, add a knob of butter and sear the steak rolls at the seam line.
- Keep turning the rolls and to cook on all sides to get a nice char and as you do brush Yakitori sauce onto the steak rolls.
- Remove from pan and brush extra Yakitori sauce once again on steak rolls before serving.
