Beef Negimaki

Beef Negimaki is a visually striking and deeply flavorful Japanese dish that has found a devoted following both in its home country and across the world, particularly in the United States. At its core, the dish consists of thinly sliced strips of beef—typically a high-quality cut like ribeye or sirloin—that are meticulously wrapped around fresh scallions (known as 'negi' in Japanese). These rolls are then broiled or grilled to perfection and glazed with a rich, savory-sweet teriyaki sauce. The result is a harmonious blend of textures and flavors: the tender, savory beef provides a rich meatiness, while the scallions inside offer a crisp, fresh contrast and a mild oniony bite that cuts through the richness of the meat and the sauce.
