These Enoki Beef Rolls have been appearing all over my social media feed so I thought I would give them a shot. They consist of tiny morsels of enoki mushrooms tightly wrapped in beef slices. For the beef slices, I am using pre-sliced hotpot meat but you can slice the meat yourself. Just make sure to slice them very thinly.

🥡 About This Recipe
Enoki Beef Rolls are enoki mushrooms tightly wrapped in beef and simmered in a sweet and savory sauce. If you have never had them, the sauce is very similar to teriyaki sauce. My favorite way to eat this is with a side of rice. Some people also like to drizzle on raw eggs at the end.
My mom used to make these all the time, but I only recently learned they are from Japan. I have never actually seen them in Japanese restaurants, but they have become very popular on social media lately.
🥩 What Beef To Use?
I recommend using pre-sliced hotpot meat. It is convenient, and they come perfectly sliced already. You want to buy meat slices that have a lot of marbling like the picture below:
If you cannot find hotpot meat, you can buy a beef roast and slice it yourself. Make sure to freeze the meat for at least 3-4 hours until it is semi-solid. This way it will be much easier to slice.
🧂 Ingredients
- Sliced beef: I am using pre-sliced hotpot meat.
- Enoki Mushrooms: You can find these in small packages at the grocery store. Try to find packages that do not have much condensation on the inside of the packaging. If there is condensation, it means it is older.
- Sauce: Sake, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.
- Garnish: Green onions and toasted sesame oil.
- Garlic
- Oil
🔪 Instructions
STEP 1: In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients: sake, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.
STEP 2: Rinse the enoki mushrooms, slice off the roots, and separate them into small strands. When I photographed this, I made the bundles too big. Try to make them a bit smaller than the picture.
STEP 3: Wrap the enoki mushrooms with the beef slices and set aside.
STEP 4: Heat one tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the enoki mushrooms in batches until the bottom turns brown. Remove the enoki mushrooms to a plate. There should be some leftover oil in the pan.
STEP 5: Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the empty pan. Cook for 15 seconds until fragrant. Return the enoki mushrooms and pour in the sauce mixture. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove the lid and drizzle on sesame oil and green onions. Enjoy!
