Steak And Green Bean Rolls

Stir together soy, sake, oil, sugar, ginger and garlic in a large shallow bowl. Set aside. Place each slice of meat between two pieces of clear plastic wrap. Working from center to edge, pound lightly with the flat side of a mallet to 1/8" thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Cut each slice in half crosswise. Place meat in marinade; cover and marinate at room temperature 30 minutes or in fridge 2 hours.

Meanwhile cook beans in small amount of boiling water for 4 minutes. Add green onion and cook 1 minute more. Drain. Drain meat, discarding marinade. Place two green beans and one green onion lengthwise on one of the beef slices. Beginning at a long end of the slice, roll meat tightly around the vegetables.

Tie with Kitchen string. Repeat for remaining meat and vegetables. Spray the unheated rack of a broiler pan with non-stick coating. Place rolls on rack. Broil 3-4" from heat 6-7 minutes, turning once, until meat is just done. Remove rolls from broiler; remove strings. Bias-slice each roll into 1" pieces. Place n a serving plate.

Makes 16-20 pieces.
