- Prep Time 30 minutes
- Total Time 40 minutes
- Yield Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 pound center-cut beef tenderloin or sirloin, cut into 8 slices
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 4 scallions, trimmed, sliced very thinly lengthwise, and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
Directions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, and cook, shaking skillet often, until pepper blisters, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Transfer to a plate; wipe skillet clean.
-
Place each beef slice between plastic wrap; pound lightly until 1/8 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper. Divide bell pepper and scallions among slices. Roll tightly into bundles; secure each with a toothpick.
-
Heat remaining tablespoon oil in same skillet over high heat. Working in two batches, sear rolls until browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate; cover to keep warm. Wipe skillet clean.
-
Add 2 tablespoons water, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar to skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until sauce is reduced and syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove toothpicks. Drizzle rolls with sauce.
My family loved these. I also used onions instead of scallions--I just diced them and sauted with the peppers--my family preferred that option.
What can be used instead of scallions? My kids don't like them. Thanks.
Made this last night and it was delicious. I just served with some green rice.
My DH and I have made this for a few years (must have been in an old issue of EDF) One of our favorites!
This recipe was fast and a complete hit! Presentation was nice. I doubled the sauce and in a pinch at the last minute, I topped the plate with freshly grated ginger and chopped coriander leaves. I think without those it would have been a bit on the bland side.
Yum...what about thin (or sliced lengthwise) fresh asparagus? This would be very good sliced in half with a toothpick inserted, for a small get-together to wow your guests. (whole for a small dinner party to impress special guests of course)
My family has made a version of this for many years. We use sliced, flank steak marinated in teriyaki sauce and roll green beans (pre-cooked) in it and then grill them. So yummy - it makes you eat tons of rice!
i've made this TONS of times and it's always a hit i suggest adding just a bit more of the liquids because i can evaporate quite fast otherwise perfect perfect perfect. great for those quick not sure what to make meals
