- Add a splash of sake to the sauce for extra depth of flavor.
- For a spicy twist, sprinkle a little chili flakes over the rolls before serving.

FAQs
Can I use other mushrooms instead of enoki?
Yes, shiitake or oyster mushrooms can be used as alternatives, but the cooking time may vary. Enoki mushrooms are preferred for their delicate texture and mild flavor.
Is it necessary to cover the skillet while cooking?
Covering the skillet helps the rolls steam evenly and cook through without drying out. It also allows the sauce to infuse into the beef and mushrooms.

Ingredients
Beef Rolls
- 12 slices thinly sliced beef
- 1 pack enoki mushrooms, split into 12 pieces
Sauce
- 1 cup dashi broth
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 small yellow onion, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 stalk green onion, diced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the enoki beef rolls: Divide the enoki mushrooms into small bunches, each roughly the size of a single slice of beef. Roll each bunch tightly within one slice of thinly sliced beef, creating 12 individual beef rolls.
- Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the dashi broth, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved to create a balanced savory and slightly sweet sauce.
- Cook the onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced yellow onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent, slightly browned, and caramelized, about 3 to 5 minutes. This step adds sweetness and depth to the dish.
- Add the enoki beef rolls and sauce: Arrange the prepared beef rolls in a single layer over the cooked onions in the skillet. Pour the mixed sauce evenly over the rolls. Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook for 3 minutes to allow the beef to simmer and absorb the flavors. Flip the rolls carefully and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the beef is cooked through.
- Add the egg: Lightly beat the two eggs in a bowl. Drizzle the beaten eggs evenly over the enoki beef rolls in the skillet. Cover and simmer gently for about 2 minutes until the eggs are set but still tender, creating a luscious, silky texture.
- Serve: Transfer the enoki beef rolls to serving plates. Garnish with diced green onion and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for added texture and aroma. Serve the dish alongside steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use very thinly sliced beef (such as sukiyaki or shabu-shabu cut) for easier rolling and quicker cooking.
- If dashi broth is unavailable, you can substitute with a mild chicken or vegetable broth, though dashi adds authentic umami flavor.
- Adjust the sugar quantity in the sauce to taste if you prefer more or less sweetness.
- To make prep easier, you can trim the root ends off the enoki mushrooms before splitting them.
- Cook the eggs gently to avoid overcooking and keep a soft texture.
- This dish pairs beautifully with steamed white rice or sushi rice and a side of lightly pickled vegetables.
