Beef Negimaki with Broccoli and Wild Rice

Picture
Serves: 2 
Ingredients
  • vegetable oil or cooking spray
  • 1/2 pound top round, thinly sliced and cut into 6 strips (6 inches by 2 1/2 inches each)
  • 4 scallions, cut into 3-inch-long pieces
  • 1 cup rice (wild, brown or white)
  • 2 cups broccoli 
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
Marinade
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

1. Heat grill to medium (350 degrees F).
2. Fold two 18-inch-long pieces of foil in half; unfold and coat inside with cooking spray.
3. Combine hoisin, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil in a bowl to create marinade; coat beef with marinade.
4. Place a handful of scallions on the end of 1 strip of beef (tips should hang over edges of meat); roll up beef to enclose vegetables and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining beef and scallions.
5. Place 1/4 cup of almost cooked rice (or uncooked instant rice) in the center of each piece of foil; top rice with 3 beef rolls each.
6. Surround rice and beef in each packet with 1 cup of brocoli; season all with salt and pepper.
7. Fold foil to close and crimp 2 sides of each packet, leaving the top side open; pour 1/4 cup broth into each packet. 
8. Crimp third side of packets to seal; place on grill; close lid; cook until packets are fully puffed, about 10 minutes. Carefully cut foil to open; serve.
