Asian Grilled Beef Rolls
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed
ground black pepper
4 scallions, whites cut into rings green tops cut 3" lengths, halved
3 bell peppers, cut matchstick (one each red, yellow and green)
olive oil
Whisk together soy sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl until sugar is
dissolved. Set aside. Cut beef crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Flatten
each piece of beef, with a meat pounder, until it is 1/8-inch-thick. Don�t over
flatten. Transfer slices to a large plate. Dip a slice of beef into soy mixture
and place on a clean surface. Season with pepper. Put 2 pieces of scallion green
and 1 piece of each pepper across the width of beef. The vegetables should
extend over both edges. Roll up lengthwise and skewer near the edges with 2
toothpicks. Set aside. Repeat with remaining beef and vegetables.
Brush a grill pan with oil and heat until hot, or heat oven broiler. Grill or
broil the rolls, brushing with the sauce and turning until the meat is medium
rare, 2 to 4 minutes. Cut each roll in half. In a small saucepan bring remaining
sauce to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Pour into a small bowl, add scallion rings. |
