Ingredients
– 7 oz enoki mushrooms
– 1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye, sirloin, or brisket)
– 1 tbsp avocado oil or any neutral flavored oil
– 1 onion, thinly sliced (yellow or white)
– 2 eggs, whisked
– Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
– 1/3 cup water
– 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari sauce (gluten-free option)
– 1 tbsp cooking sake (or substitute with mirin)
– 1 tbsp mirin
– 1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
1-Step 1: Prepare the Enoki Mushrooms Start by trimming the bottom 1-2 inches off the enoki mushrooms. This removes the tough, woody base that can be unpleasant to eat. Rinse the mushrooms gently under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture during cooking. Once cleaned, separate the mushrooms into small bundles about 1/4-inch thick. These bite-sized portions are perfect for rolling and ensure even cooking throughout the dish.
2-Step 2: Create the Beef Rolls Lay out a thin slice of beef on a clean work surface or cutting board. Place one enoki mushroom bundle near one edge of the beef slice. Carefully roll the beef around the mushrooms, tucking in the sides as you go to create a neat, compact roll. The beef should completely encase the mushrooms. Repeat this process with the remaining beef slices and mushroom bundles until all ingredients are used. You should end up with approximately 15-20 rolls depending on the size of your beef slices.
3-Step 3: Mix the Savory Sauce In a medium bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients: 1/3 cup water, 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 tbsp cooking sake, 1 tbsp mirin, and 1 minced garlic clove. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined. The sauce should have a rich amber color and a balanced aroma of soy and garlic. Set this mixture aside while you prepare the cooking process.
4-Step 4: Cook the Aromatic Base Heat 1 tbsp of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the thinly sliced onions. Cook the onions for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become slightly softened and translucent. The onions should still have a bit of texture rather than being completely caramelized. This creates a flavorful bed for the beef rolls and adds sweetness to the final dish.
5-Step 5: Simmer the Rolls Arrange the enoki beef rolls evenly over the softened onions in the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the rolls, making sure each one gets coated with the flavorful liquid. Cover the skillet with a lid and bring the sauce to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the rolls simmer for 3-4 minutes. The beef should cook through completely and no longer appear pink. The mushrooms inside will become tender and absorb the savory sauce.
6-Step 6: Add the Silky Egg Layer Remove the lid from the skillet and pour the 2 whisked eggs evenly over the rolls. Cover the skillet again and cook for 1 additional minute. The eggs will set into a delicate, custard-like layer that surrounds the rolls and thickens the sauce slightly. This step adds protein and creates a silky texture that makes the dish feel more substantial and satisfying.
7-Step 7: Finish and Serve Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the finished dish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately over warm white rice for a complete meal. The rice soaks up the delicious sauce and makes the dish more filling. For a lighter option, you can also serve these rolls on their own or with steamed vegetables on the side. Looking for a sweet treat after dinner?
