Asparagus Beef Rolls are a delightful combination of tender asparagus spears rolled with thinly sliced beef and cooked with a flavorful Teriyaki sesame sauce. This dish is incredibly versatile, serving as an easy appetizer or a satisfying main dish, made from simple ingredients. What’s more, it’s convenient; you can prepare them the night before and cook them fresh on the day you plan to serve them. This recipe is easily scalable, making it ideal for gatherings and potlucks. It’s also perfect for meal prepping Bento lunches; simply make extra for dinner and enjoy leftovers for the next day’s lunch. When cooking, be mindful not to overcook the asparagus to preserve its tender but nice crispy texture. The addition of sesame oil and seeds adds a twist to the traditional Teriyaki sauce. Alternatively, for those who prefer a more savory taste, Yakiniku BBQ sauce can be substituted. We hope you enjoy them!
