This recipe for Keto Beef Negimaki is quick to prepare and makes a delicious meal or appetizer! It tastes like something you’d order at a Japanese restaurant & uses basic ingredients. The amazing flavor and wonderfully juicy, soft texture of the Beef Negimaki dish in particular make it a tremendous favorite. The Japanese appetizer Beef Negimaki, which is pronounced neh-gee-mah-kee, is made with thin pieces of beef wrapped around scallions or asparagus. After being pan-fried or grilled, it is drenched in an extremely enticing teriyaki sauce. Keto Beef Negimaki tastes great by itself or paired with quick-pot sushi rice and Asian cucumber salad. The sauce is irresistible on its own because the sauce contains all the flavors of salty, spicy, umami, & slightly sweet in one thing. It only contains 6g of carbs, 1g of fiber, 5g of net carbs, and 17g of proteins in the dish.

INGREDIENTS:
- ½ cup mirin
- 2 lb. flank steak
- Twenty-four small sheared scallions
- 2 tablespoon Sweetener
- ½ cup sake
- 1/3 cup tamari
INGREDIENT NOTES:
FLANK STEAK:
- The best steak for negimaki is because it retains a lot of flavor even when pounded very thin. You may use various steak cuts, such as skirt steak, flat iron steak, tri-tip steak, or hanger steak, but I enjoy the classic flavor and texture of flank steak.
ASPARAGUS/SCALLIONS:
- I like to use scallions, but you may use asparagus.
SAKE:
- Sake is a Japanese alcohol that is frequently used to marinate meat to make it tenderer. Don’t worry if you don’t have any sake! I’ve tried this recipe using cooking sherry and dry vermouth, and it still tastes great. I would recommend using rice vinegar if you would prefer not to use alcohol when cooking.
MIRIN:
- Mirin a cooking wine from Japan that is comparable to dry sherry is added in this recipe.
TAMARI:
- Tamari is utilized as a substitute for soy sauce to give this beef negimaki an umami flavor.
OIL:
- We utilize the oil to pan-fry the ingredients used in making beef negimaki.

INSTRUCTION:
- Heat water in a saucepan till it boils. After boiling it, add the scallions and blanch them for thirty to forty-five seconds.
- After taking it out of the water, put it in a dish of cold water.
- Cut the steak into twelve squares by slicing it into thin strips that are about ¼ inch thick.
- After placing the steak between plastic wraps, pound it till it is 1/8 inch thick.
- Tightly coil up each steak after adding three scallions to the middle.
- Hold them in place with a toothpick. Put the steak rolls in a shallow plate or container.
- Pour the remaining ingredients over the steak rolls after whisking them together.
- Make sure the steak’s exterior and all sides are covered by shaking the dish or container.
- Give everything a fifteen-minute rest.
- Put the non-stick grill on moderate heat and add the oil to it.
- When the oil gets warm, add the beef rolls, shake off any extra sauce, and fry them on both sides.
- After turning off the heat, pour any remaining sauce on the Negima.
- Your Keto Beef Negimaki is ready!
TIPS:
- Better rolls will result by pounding the beef thinner. The steak will absorb more of the marinade the more you can roll it up. Negimaki will taste better as a result.
- Apply marinade to the meat on all sides. The negimaki will overcook if one side is left unseasoned.
- In this recipe made with beef or steak, the rarer the meat, the tenderer it will be. The meat will be tender if you cook it rarely, which is one-twenty to one-twenty-five degrees F. Cook to one-thirty to one-forty degrees F for medium rare.
- I like to pour some sesame oil or sprinkle some sesame seeds on top just before serving.
- Grill the meat. Just prepare the meat and place it straight on the grates after heating the grill to moderate to high heat.
- Since I believe it adds a mild spice and a brighter flavor to the beef rolls, I prefer to add whatever ginger I seem to have lying about to the marinade.
