Ingredients
For the Asian Steak Roll Ups
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (If you have a flavored olive oil, use it!)
- 20 asparagus stalks, ends trimmed off and discarded
- 2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
- 1 zucchini, cut into matchsticks
- 1.5 lb thin-sliced sirloin
- 2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seed
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
For the Marinade
- ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce (use a gluten free service)
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil; set aside.
- Take 6 Tablespoons of the marinade mixture out of the big bowl and set into a small separate bowl (you will have 2 bowls of marinade).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the garlic, asparagus, carrots, bell pepper and zucchini. Saute, stirring occasionally, just until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Cut beef into thin serving size pieces, pounded to ¼-inch thickness, if needed. Put beef in a bowl and liberally brush largest bowl of marinade on and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. (The longer it marinates, the better!)
- After the meat has marinated, working one at a time, top each beef slice with each vegetable, roll up and secure with a toothpick.
- In the beef marinade that's left over from the marinating process, liberally brush the mixture onto each of the roll ups.
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. Add roll ups to the grill, seam-side down, and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- After you remove these from the grill, brush the marinade that was not used that was set aside on top of your cooked roll ups.
- Garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
