Ingredients

2 lb flank steak
24 small scallions trimmed
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup mirin
1/2 cup sake
2 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the scallions to it and blanch for 30-45 seconds. Remove from the water and place in a bowl of iced water.
Slice the steak into thin strips, around 1/4-inch in thickness, to leave 12 squares of steak.
Place the steak between plastic wrap and pound the pieces until 1/8-inch thickness.
Add 3 scallions to the center of each piece of steak and tightly roll each one up. Use a toothpick to hold them into place. Place the rolls of steak in a shallow container or dish.
Whisk the remaining ingredients together and pour over the steak rolls. Shake the container/dish, ensuring both sides and the exterior of the steak is covered. Let everything sit for 15 minutes.
Add oil to a non-stick grill or skillet and place over medium heat. Once hot, add the beef rolls to it, shaking off excess sauce and sear on all visible sides.
Remove the negimaki off the heat and drizzle with any remaining sauce.
