Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare the Steak: Place the flank steak on a cutting board. If uneven, pound it to an even 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Slice the steak against the grain into 4-5 long strips, each about 2-3 inches wide.
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture evenly over the steak strips. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the steak marinates, slice the bell peppers, zucchini, carrot, and green onions into thin, uniform strips for easy rolling.
Assembly
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay a steak strip flat. Place a small handful of mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrot, and green onions) at one end of the strip. Roll the steak tightly around the vegetables, securing with a soaked wooden skewer or kitchen twine. Repeat for all strips.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, lime zest, and olive oil until smooth. Set aside.
Cooking
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). If using a grill pan, heat over medium-high with a light coating of oil.
- Grill the Rolls: Place the steak rolls on the grill, seam-side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Brush the rolls with the sriracha-lime glaze during the last 2 minutes of grilling, turning to coat evenly.
- Rest the Rolls: Remove the rolls from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Serving
- Slice and Serve: Remove skewers or twine (if used). Slice the rolls into 1-inch rounds for a beautiful cross-section presentation, or serve whole. Drizzle with any remaining glaze, if desired.
- Garnish (Optional): Garnish with chopped cilantro or extra lime zest for added freshness.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with jasmine rice, quinoa, or a side of grilled corn.
- Pair with a light cucumber salad to balance the spice.
- Offer extra sriracha-lime glaze on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: The steak can be marinated and the glaze prepared up to 24 hours in advance. Assemble rolls just before grilling.
- Vegetable Variations: Substitute or add vegetables like asparagus, mushrooms, or spinach based on preference.
- Spice Level: Adjust sriracha in the glaze to taste for milder or spicier flavor.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to avoid overcooking.
