This is the kind of recipe I love making when I want something flavorful but don’t want to spend all night in the kitchen. These beef scallion rolls come together in minutes and taste like something straight from a restaurant.

Thin slices of flank steak are rolled around whole scallions, seared until browned, then tossed in a mirin and soy sauce glaze that turns glossy and sticky in the skillet.

They’re perfect for weeknight dinners, small bites, or entertaining because they feel fun and special without being complicated.
