Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables. Wash the scallion and slice it thinly on an angle, about 2 inches long, focusing on the white part. Peel the carrot and cut it into similar length matchsticks.
Step 2
Heat about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a preheated pan over medium heat. Add the sliced scallions and carrots and sauté until they soften and become slightly translucent.
Step 3
To the sautéed vegetables, add the ‘Scallion & Carrot Sauté Seasoning’ ingredients: 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of mirin. Stir-fry together, allowing the mixture to cook down slightly and become fragrant. This step enhances the sweetness and aroma of the vegetables.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the beef. Lay out the thinly sliced beef. Place a portion of the sautéed scallion and carrot mixture onto each slice of beef. Carefully roll up the beef tightly, like making a kimbap roll. Gently press the end to help it seal.
Step 5
Lightly coat the outside of each beef roll with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. This coating helps to prevent moisture loss during cooking and allows the sauce to adhere better. Gently shake off any excess flour.
Step 6
Reheat the pan with a little cooking oil over medium heat. Carefully place the flour-coated beef rolls into the pan. Sear them on all sides until they are golden brown and nicely browned. Ensure the outside is cooked through.
Step 7
While the beef rolls are searing, prepare the green beans if you are using them. Wash them well. Once the beef rolls are nicely browned, add the green beans to the side of the pan and sauté them briefly alongside the beef. This adds a lovely color and texture. (Green beans are optional).
Step 8
Once all the components are nicely browned, pour in the ‘Beef Roll Sauce Ingredients’: 1/2 cup (approx. 80ml) heavy cream, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1/2 tablespoon oligodang. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef rolls with a glossy finish.
Step 9
Finally, arrange the finished Creamy Scallion Beef Rolls on a serving plate. Add the sautéed green beans on the side. Your beautiful and delicious Creamy Scallion Beef Rolls are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately while warm.
