Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil grate. Pat steak dry and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly score both sides of steak with the tip of a paring knife, making shallow parallel cuts (no deeper than an 1/8") about 1" apart and running across the grain of the meat (this will prevent the steak from curling as it cooks). Season generously all over with salt and pepper; let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, toss scallions on another baking sheet with 2 Tbsp. olive oil to coat; season with salt and pepper.
- Whisk mirin, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Sriracha, and sesame oil in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved; set marinade aside.
- Pat steak dry again (the salt will have drawn out more moisture) and rub with remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Grill scallions, turning often, until tender and charred in spots, about 1 minute. Return to baking sheet. Grill steak, turning every 2 minutes or so, until medium-rare, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10-15 minutes.
- Thinly slice steak crosswise and arrange on a rimmed platter; drizzle all of the juices that have collected on the cutting board over. Arrange grilled scallions on top of the steak, then pour reserved marinade over. Let sit at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving. To serve, sprinkle with sesame seeds as desired.
NEGIMAKI
Negimaki is a popular Japanese dish of thinly sliced beef that is wrapped around scallions, then grilled or sautéed and served with a teriyaki-style sauce that doubles as a marinade. (Negi means "scallion" and maki means "roll.") It's quick and easy to make--aside from pounding and rolling the beef--and you can form the rolls up to twelve hours ahead of time and refrigerate them, covered, until you're ready to finish the recipe. Serve as an appetizer or a main course with steamed rice and a green vegetable or salad.

Steps:
- Stir together the soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a pie dish or similar shallow container until the sugar is almost dissolved. Set the marinade aside.
- Cut the beef with the grain into 24 slices, each about 1/2 inch thick. Working in batches, arrange a few slices cut-side up on a piece of plastic wrap, leaving a few inches between each slice. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until the slices are 1/8 inch thick or a little less.
- Lay 3 slices on a work surface parallel to you with the long sides slightly overlapping (by about 1/4 inch). Cut 3 pieces of scallion the same width as the beef and place them across the meat at the end closest to you. Tightly roll the meat around the scallions, starting at the end closest to you. Secure the roll with 2 toothpicks--1 placed horizontally along each of the 2 "seams." Repeat with the remaining beef and scallions. You will end up with 8 rolls.
- Place the rolls in the marinade, turn to coat and marinate, turning once halfway through, for about 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate, letting any excess marinade drain off, and pat dry (reserve the marinade).
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rolls and brown on 4 sides, 3 or 4 minutes total (the middle should still be rare). When you flip the rolls the last time, reduce the heat to medium, add the reserved marinade and simmer, turning the rolls a few times, until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. (The meat should still be pink in the middle at this point. If you prefer your meat more well done, simmer it a little longer; just be careful not to reduce the sauce too much. If that happens, thin it with a little water.)
- Transfer the rolls to a cutting board and, when cool enough to handle, remove the toothpicks. Using a very sharp knife, cut the rolls crosswise into pieces about 1 inch wide and serve upright on plates. Drizzle with the sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
GRILLED BEEF ROLLS
Steps:
- Whisk together soy sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved. Set aside. Cut beef crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Flatten each piece of beef, with a meat pounder, until it is 1/8-inch-thick. Don't over flatten. Transfer slices to a large plate.
- Dip a slice of beef into soy mixture and place on a clean surface. Season with pepper. Put 2 pieces of scallion green and 1 piece of each pepper across the width of beef. The vegetables should extend over both edges. Roll up lengthwise and skewer near the edges with 2 toothpicks. Set aside. Repeat with remaining beef and vegetables.
- Brush a grill pan with oil and heat until hot, or heat oven broiler. Grill or broil the rolls, brushing with the sauce and turning until the meat is medium rare, 2 to 4 minutes. Cut each roll in half. In a small saucepan bring remaining sauce to a boil for 3 to 5 minutes. Pour into a small bowl, add scallion rings, serve on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak or skirt steak are good choices for this recipe, as they are both relatively thin and can be easily rolled up.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize the meat and give it flavor.
- Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the outside of the beef rolls and keep them from drying out.
- Roll the beef rolls tightly: This will help to keep the filling inside the rolls while they are grilling.
- Serve the beef rolls with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce made with soy sauce, vinegar, and scallions is a classic accompaniment to beef rolls.
Conclusion:
Grilled beef rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your beef rolls turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful. Serve them with a dipping sauce of your choice and enjoy!
