Ingredients

• 500 grams Thinly sliced beef steak
• 1 large Carrot
• 12 stalks Asparagus
• 1 medium Bell pepper (red or yellow)
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 small Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 12 Toothpicks or small skewers

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by cutting the carrot, asparagus, and bell pepper into thin, equal-length strips (about 8 cm long).

Step 2

Blanch the asparagus and carrot strips in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to preserve their color and crunch.

Step 3

Lay out each slice of beef steak on a flat surface. Place one piece of carrot, one stalk of asparagus, and one piece of bell pepper lengthwise along the center of the beef slice.

Step 4

Roll the beef tightly around the vegetables and secure with a toothpick or small skewer.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sesame oil to make the marinade.

Step 6

Brush the marinade generously onto the steak rolls and let them sit for 10 minutes while preparing the dip.

Step 7

To make the red bell vinegar dip, roast the red bell pepper over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it steam for 5 minutes. Peel off the skin and roughly chop the flesh.

Step 8

In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red bell pepper, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, then transfer to a small serving dish.

Step 9

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the beef is cooked to your preferred doneness.

Step 10

Remove the toothpicks or skewers from the steak rolls and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve immediately with the red bell vinegar dip on the side.
