Hoisin Beef and Scallion Rolls

Welcome to Day #6 of Appetizer Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic. Whether you are a Broncos fan or a Seahawks fan, we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your game day spread. Each day we dished up a different set of appetizers. We hope you enjoyed this fabulous group of recipes. Check out each day starting with Monday, January 20 and ending on Saturday, January 25. Today is our final day of #AppetizerWeek. We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we have! Should we make it an annual event? I think so!

Hoisin Glazed Flank Steak Spirals

Hoisin-glazed flank steak spirals. Beef appetizers aren't new (think meatballs), but I think these take the concept to a new level. Plus, vegetables are rolled up in there!

Hoisin Glazed Flank Steak Spirals

Hoisin sauce and Sriracha add a sweet hot flavor that make these pretty addicting. You may not have room for dinner.

Hoisin Glazed Flank Steak Spirals

Adapted from Best of Fine Cooking Appetizers, 2009. Makes enough for 8 to 10 guests as an appetizer. 

Ingredients

1 pound flank steak
Salt
1/2 C hoisin sauce
2 tsp Sriracha
2 medium carrots, shredded and dried over a paper towel
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin 2 inch long strips
1 bunch of scallions, green part only, cut into 2 inch lengths

Instructions

  1. Place a rack in your oven about 6 inches below the heating element, and preheat on broil.  
  2. Thinly slice the steak on an angle, against the grain, to create thin pieces that are about 1/4 inch thick and 2 1/2 inches wide and as long as the width of the steak.
  3. Sprinkle the pieces with salt.
  4. Mix the hoisin and sriracha and brush on the steak pieces.
  5. Place the peppers and scallions alternatively widthwise over the pieces of steak and then sprinkle with the shredded carrots.
  6. Tightly roll up the pieces of steak lengthwise and secure with toothpicks. 
  7. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  8. Brush the tops of the rolled up flank steak with hoisin and place them on the foil lined baking sheet.
  9. Broil for about 4 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness.
  10. Turn off the broiler and leave the baking sheet in the oven for another 3 minutes to fully cook the steak. 
  11. Remove the original toothpicks and then insert 2 to 3 new toothpicks, evenly spaced, and slice the rolls to create bite sized pieces. 
  12. Serve immediately.

  5. These will be perfect for the Oscar party! The recipe states to serve immediately. I don't see why they cannot be prepared a few hours in advance, do you?

    1. =) I think that if you slightly under cooked them and then nuked them a few seconds before serving they'd be just fine actually, Cathy.

  6. I think you read my mind....I had a flank steak marinating in the fridge wondering what to make tomorrow...this looks delicious. I think it would be fun for the kids to help make them also.

    My favorite cookbook is The Essential Finger Food Cookbook, I've had it for many years from Australia and love going through drooling at all the little quick bites.

  8. My favorite cookbook is "A Taste of Louisiana", compiled by the Louisiana Federation of Women's Clubs, isbn 0875110665. It was originally published in 1979. One of my siblings bought it for my mom on a school field trip to the New Orleans Zoo when it was first published. Since then, we've all grown up and found our own copies. In our family, it's referred to as "the gold book", because the cover is gold.

  16. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I think a cookbook that needs to be in everyone's collection is The Joy of Cooking. Especially for the beginner/novice cook.
