Asian Beef Roll Ups are a fast and delicious low carb option with colorful vegetables rolled up in thin beef with a garlicky soy sauce. Easy 20 Minute Meal or Appetizer!
Sometimes you may hear people call these steak roll ups, Sukiyaki beef roll ups or maybe even roulade beef. Every country has their version of this delicious dish but this one is simply delicious with just a handful of ingredients. We made ours Japanese Style and gluten free.
Ingredients
Beef - super thin eye of the round steak but also works best with sukiyaki beef like in our udon recipe.
Vegetables - we used a simple trio of colorful low carb bell peppers. These are also delicious with enoki mushrooms and asparagus. f you choose a firmer vegetable such as carrots or green beans, they will need to be blanched before rolling up so it cooks all the way through.
Garlic - but of course, right?
Soy Sauce - or coconut aminos or tamari sauce to keep the beef rollups gluten-free
Mirin - or a dry sherry
Sesame Seeds - toasted for a garnish
Simple Asian Sauce
Please do not be washing out your pan right away. Those little brown bits from sautéing the Asian Beef Roll-ups is just what you need to make a delicious simple sauce. We deglazed the pan with a little mirin (Japanese wine) but you can use cooking sherry, soy sauce and garlic.
We served our Asian Beef roll-ups with some sautéed mushrooms and a side of sesame burdock root salad.

Asian Beef Roll Ups
Ingredients
- Beef- Eye of the round sliced super thin or sukiyaki beef slices – 16
- Red bell pepper- ½ cut into thin slices lengthwise
- Orange bell pepper – ½ cut into thin slices lengthwise
- Green bell pepper- ½ cut into thin slices lengthwise
- Salt and pepper – to taste

- Garlic – 2 cloves peeled and minced
- Mirin (Japanese wine) or cooking sherry – ¼ cup
- Soy sauce (tamari sauce) – 2 tablespoons
- Water- 2 tablespoons
- Sesame seeds – 2 teaspoons (white toasted)
Instructions
- Place 3 bell pepper slices horizontal and at the edge of your thin beef slice (we used one green, yellow and red bell pepper slice but you could use all one color or different veggies if desired) Roll up tightly. Salt and pepper on all sides.
- Place olive oil in pan and cook your Asian beef roll-ups for 1-2 minutes on all sides on medium high heat… 4 minutes total. Do not over crowd your pan. We did this in 2 batches.
- Make your sauce: Remove your cooked Asian Beef roll ups from the pan and keep warm. Add your minced garlic and saute for 1 minute. Then add your mirin, cooking sherry or dry white wine and deglaze pan for about 3 minutes. Add your soy sauce (tamari) and water until heated, another 1-2 minutes. Turn off burner.
- Drizzle the sauce over your cooked Asian Beef roll-ups, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and enjoy!
- We served ours with sautéed mushrooms and a salad with Japanese sesame dressing.

Thanks so much Ian. Actually these are great. After you cook them, slice them horizontally a few times to show the beef and vegetable stuffing. Asian beef roll ups are great bite sized appetizers. Take Care
