Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

salt
24 thin asparagus spears, trimmed
1/2 c soy sauce
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c mirin or dry sherry
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bunch green onions, green portion only
1 1/2 lb beef tenderloin
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat a grill pan until hot. Also bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • 2. Blanch the asparagus spears in the salted water for about a minute. Drain and plunge the asparagus into an ice water bath to stop the cooking.
  • 3. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, sugar, mirin, ginger, and garlic. Heat over medium heat until reduced and slightly thickened. Set aside and let cool.
  • 4. Cut the green onions, lengthwise, into fourths, so that you have long strips.
  • 5. Slice the beef into 1/4-inch slices. Gently pound them to both tenderize and thin out. Dip the slices into the soy sauce mixture and place on a clean work surface. Season with black pepper.
  • 6. Place an asparagus spear and a piece of green onion on a beef slice and roll up. Do the same with the remaining asparagus and beef.
  • 7. Grill the beef rolls about 2 minutes until slightly charred and medium rare. Turn several times and brush with soy sauce mixture. Remove to a serving platter and drizzle generously with the soy sauce mixture.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my asparagus negimaki didn't turn out as good as I expected. The beef was a little tough and the sauce was too salty.

The asparagus negimaki was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time.
