Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 bunches scallions, cut into slivers
1/3 cup beer
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
12 slices deli roast beef (thin slices)
salt
1 cucumber, seeded and cut into slivers
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
cooked white rice, for serving
chopped cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

In a medium saucepan of boiling water, cook the scallions for 30 seconds; drain. In a bowl, whisk together the beer, soy sauce and sugar; set aside.
Trim each roast beef slice to about 4 by 5 inches. Season with salt.
Lay a small cluster of scallion and cucumber slivers on the bottom edge of each slice and roll tightly to form a log; secure with a toothpick along the length of the roll.
Repeat with the remaining beef, scallions and cucumber. Using a basting brush, coat the logs with the reserved beer sauce; let stand for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef rolls (reserve the sauce) and cook, turning, until the sides are brown, about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a plate. Add the reserved beer sauce to the skillet and simmer until syrupy, about 2 minutes.
Remove the toothpicks from the beef rolls; discard. Cut the rolls into quarters. Top with the sauce.
Top the cooked rice with the cilantro and serve with the roll-ups.
