Description

Crispy, savory beef wraps filled with tender marinated beef, aromatic sauces, and fresh scallions. Perfect for a quick, portable meal that balances bold umami and spice with herbaceous brightness. Pork- and alcohol-free, using soy-sesame marinades and five-spice for authenticity.


Ingredients

Scale

500g thinly sliced beef (sirloin or ribeye)
4 large scallions
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
4 large Chinese pancakes or tortillas
Fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, black pepper, and five-spice powder to make marinade. Add beef slices and mix until coated; let marinate 10–15 minutes.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil, and sear beef in a single layer for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Return pan to heat, add chopped scallion whites, and sauté 3–5 minutes until softened. Discard roots if present.
Warm Chinese pancakes/tortillas. Spread 1–2 tablespoons marinade on each, then layer seared beef, sautéed scallions, and cilantro. Roll tightly and serve with reserved sesame oil drizzled on top.

Notes

Substitute oyster sauce with hoisin for a pork-free alternative.
Use gluten-free soy sauce if avoiding gluten.
Tortillas (flour or gluten-free) work well if pancakes are unavailable.
Reserve 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil for drizzling at the end for enhanced aroma.
Marinate longer for deeper flavor (up to 30 minutes).
