Ingredients
Beef
- 2 pounds Sirloin or other cuts of beef, sliced ⅛” thick
Marinade
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- ½ cup Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon Minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Minced Ginger
- Juice of One Lime
Vegetables (choose your favorites)
- 1 Large Carrot
- 1 Russet Potato
- Uncut Fresh Green Beans (not canned)
- 1 Bundle Small to Medium-Sized Asparagus Stalks
- 1 Red or Yellow Onion
- 1 Green Bell Pepper
- 1 Red Bell Pepper
Other Items
- Toothpicks
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for sautéing onions and peppers)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, onion powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, and lime juice. Thoroughly coat the ⅛” sliced beef with the marinade, then refrigerate and let it soak for 1 hour to develop the flavors.
- Prepare Vegetables for Blanching: Rinse chosen vegetables. Peel carrots, potatoes, and asparagus and slice them about ¼” thick. Trim woody ends of asparagus and the ends of green beans for even cooking.
- Blanch Vegetables: Boil the vegetables in hot water based on type: potatoes for 3 minutes, carrots for 2 minutes, green beans for 2 minutes, and asparagus 2-3 minutes depending on thickness. Immediately plunge the blanched vegetables into an ice bath to stop cooking. Drain and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Sauté Onions and Peppers (if used): Rinse and slice onions and bell peppers into ¼” slices. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from heat.
- Assemble Beef Roll-Ups: Lay beef slices flat on a clean surface. Place 4-5 pieces of prepared vegetables on each slice. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks to keep the fillings in place.
- Grill the Roll-Ups: Preheat the grill to high heat. Place the beef roll-ups on the grill and cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side or until your desired doneness is reached, ensuring the beef is nicely seared and the vegetables inside are tender.
Notes
- To skip blanching vegetables, you can microwave them to tender-crisp. Approximate microwave cooking times: potatoes 3-4 minutes, carrots 2 minutes, green beans 2 minutes, asparagus 2 minutes, onions 2 minutes, green/red peppers 2 minutes.
- Ensure vegetables are cut into uniform thickness for even cooking.
- Use toothpicks suitable for grilling that won’t burn quickly.
- Marinating the beef overnight can intensify flavors further.
