Ingredients
1 1/2poundsribeye steak, two steaks, cut in half lengthwise
1/3cupsoy sauce
2tablespoonshoney
1tablespoongarlic, minced
1/4cupsweet chili sauce, plus 1/4 cup for brushing
1/2 cupbell peppers, orange, yellow or green, cut into thin strips
1/2cupgreen beans, fresh cleaned and trimmed
1/2cupred onions, sliced thin
1/2cupcarrots, julienned into thin sticks
Instructions
Place one steak in a large plastic bag and pound it thin to tenderize. You can use a meat mallet or the bottom of a small saucepan. You want it to be thin and almost double its original size. Continue until all steaks are pounded out. Cut each steak in half lengthwise
Mix the marinade ingredients in a shallow baking dish. Stir to dissolve the honey and mix to combine.
Add the pounded steaks to the marinade and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
While the steaks are marinating, prepare your vegetables by cleaning them and cutting into thin strips. You can use any of your favorite vegetables including asparagus, broccolini, or green onions. I used carrots, peppers, red onions and green beans.
Once the vegetables are cut, cook them in boiling water for 4 minutes to partially cook them and preserve their bright color. This will also remove the strong smell and flavor of the red onions. Drain the vegetables and set aside.
Assembling the Roll-Ups
Take one strip of steak and lay it flat. Place several thinly sliced vegetables in the center and roll it up.
Secure the edges together with a few wooden toothpicks. Pour the remaining marinade over the steak roll-ups.
Place the roll-ups on a grill at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 8-10 minutes total, turning a quarter turn every two minutes. Brush the roll-ups with more sweet chili sauce during the last minute of grilling.
Remove the roll-ups from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This recipe makes 4 servings.
Equipment
1 shallow pan for marinating
1 gas or charcoal grill
8 toothpicks
Notes
Tips for making Asian Steak Roll-Ups:
MINIMIZE THE MESS- Placing the steak in a plastic bag while pounding it thin prevents splatter of meat juices. You can also lay the steak on a cutting board and cover it with plastic wrap before pounding. This has the same effect and keeps the mess on the cutting board.
BASTING- Brush the roll-ups with more sweet chili sauce while on the grill. This keeps them moist and flavorful.
PREP THE VEGGIES- Boiling the vegetables before wrapping them in steak makes them retain their bright color. And it begins the cooking process, which get finished while on the grill. This makes the vegetables crisp but tender.
