🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who prefer lean, moist meat dishes over greasy grilled meats
  • Those looking for a clean and impressive finger food for housewarming or home parties

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 200g frozen beef brisket slices
  • 10-15 perilla leaves
  • 1 pack enoki mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (for sauce)
  • Soy sauce (to taste)
  • Vinegar (to taste)

Recipe 🍳

  1. Trim the base of the enoki mushrooms as short as possible, then separate into strands. Wash the perilla leaves and pat dry.
  2. Place a perilla leaf on a cutting board, lay a slice of beef brisket lengthwise on top, then flip the whole thing over.
  3. Place an appropriate amount of enoki mushrooms on the now-inner side of the perilla leaf, then roll tightly. (The meat will be on the outside.)
  4. Place the rolls in a steamer basket without overlapping, once the steamer is boiling.
  5. Cover and steam for about 3 minutes until cooked through.
  6. While the meat cooks, prepare a savory peanut butter-based sauce or a tangy vinegar-soy dipping sauce to your preference.
  7. Dip the steamed brisket rolls in the sauce and enjoy while warm.
  1. Separate the enoki mushrooms, and layer perilla leaves and beef brisket.
  2. Place enoki mushrooms inside the perilla leaf and roll so the meat is on the outside.
  3. Steam in a preheated steamer for 3 minutes and serve with sauce.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Flipping the meat after placing it on the perilla leaf ensures the finished roll has a clean, beautiful meat exterior.
  • For a savory flavor, go with peanut butter sauce; for a cleaner taste, use store-bought perilla oil sauce or wasabi soy vinegar dip.
  • Over-steaming causes the meat to shrink and become tough; steaming for around 3 minutes is the key to a tender texture.
