Ingredients

  • 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.

Cook's Notes

Freezing the tenderloin or sirloin for about 20 minutes will make it easier to slice. For thin, even slices, place each beef slice between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet or small skillet.

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.

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!
