Rec: Beef & Scallion Sushi
If you think Sushi is just raw fish and rice you need to try this version.
No raw fish, no rice, low carbs, and delicious. -= Exported from BigOven =- Beef and Scallion Rolls (Nege Maki) These beautiful rolls aren't raw - they're seared to create a flavorful brown crust and a medium-rare center. Recipe By: Pete Romfh Serving Size: 8 Cuisine: Japanese Main Ingredient: Beef Categories: Low Sugar, Diabetic, Atkins-Friendly, Low Carb, Sauté, Fry, Sushi, Simple - Easy, Snacks, Hors dOeuvres, Brunch, Appetizers -= Ingredients =- 12 small scallions ; trimmed to 6-inch lengths 1 pound flank steak ; (roughly 6 to 7 inches square) 1/4 cup sake ; (Japanese rice wine) 1/4 cup mirin ; (Japanese sweet rice wine) 3 tablespoons soy sauce ; - low sodium 1 tablespoon Sugar ; - or Splenda 1 tablespoon Olive oil -= Instructions =- Prepare scallions: Blanch scallions in a pot of boiling salted water 45 seconds, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Transfer scallions to paper towels to drain and pat dry. Prepare beef: Cut flank steak with the grain holding a large knife at a 30-degree angle to cutting board into 12 (1/8-inch-thick) slices (1 1/2 to 2 inches wide). Arrange slices 1 inch apart on a very lightly oiled sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap, then cover with another very lightly oiled sheet of parchment or plastic wrap (oiled side down) and pound slices with flat side of meat pounder until about 1/16 inch thick. Assemble rolls: Arrange 3 beef slices side by side on a fresh sheet of plastic wrap, overlapping slices slightly to form a 6-inch square with short ends of slices nearest you. Sprinkle square lightly with a pinch of salt, then lay 3 scallions (with some white parts at both ends) across slices at end closest to you and tightly roll up meat around scallions to form a log, using plastic wrap as an aid. Tie log with kitchen string at ends and where meat slices overlap. Make 3 more nege maki rolls in same manner. Marinate rolls: Stir together sake, mirin, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Put rolls in a small baking dish and pour marinade over them, turning to coat. Marinate, loosely covered with plastic wrap, turning occasionally, 15 minutes. Cook rolls: Heat a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. While skillet is heating, lift rolls out of marinade, letting excess drip off, and pat dry. (Save marinade.) Add oil to skillet, swirling to coat bottom, then cook rolls, turning with tongs, until well browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer rolls to cutting board. Add marinade to skillet and boil until slightly syrupy, 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Cut off and discard strings, then cut each roll crosswise into 6 slices. Pour sauce into a shallow serving dish and arrange nege maki in sauce. Cook's note: nege maki can be rolled and tied (but not marinated or cooked) 4 hours ahead and chilled, wrapped in plastic wrap. Makes 4 main-course or 6 hors d'oeuvre servings. Cut in app. 1 1/2 inch lengths Each (2oz) piece contains an estimated: Cals: 175, FatCals: 82, TotFat: 9g SatFat: 3g, PolyFat: 0g, MonoFat: 4g Chol: 40mg, Na: 250, K: 258 TotCarbs: 3g, Fiber: 0.5g, Sugars: 1g NetCarbs: 2.5g, Protein: 17g ** Recipe and photo at: http://www.bigoven.com/recipe160440 ** ** Easy recipe software.

My mother (who is Japanese) made them for me at Christmas as a low-carb treat. I didn't think to ask for the recipe. Now I have a recipe and can make them for myself! Thanks Pete! Technically it isn't sushi. Sushi, by definition, is rice with vinegar and other ingredients. But since it is a roll (maki) as are some of the familiar forms of sushi (temaki, futomaki, etc), I can see why someone might refer to it that way. But a rose by any other name, etc. etc. etc. :-) Cindy |

For a beef roll that actually meets the definition of sushi take a look at my Texas-Style Beef Sushi. http://www.bigoven.com/recipe159275 Asking for this would get me thrown out of any respectable sushi bar (if the Itamae didn't kill me first). But it's great for parties and office gatherings. -- Pete Romfh, Telecom Geek & Amateur Gourmet. http://www.bigoven.com/~promfh promfh (at) hal-pc (dot) org |

The Japanese name for this is Gyuniku Negimaki or Negimayaki.
I often had it in Yakitori restaurants in Japan. It is low carb, and yum. You can also make it with chicken.
