Asian Steak Roll Ups
Easy make-ahead roll ups with tons of veggies and the best Asian marinade loaded with so much flavor. Can be grilled or pan seared!
Anything that’s stuffed or rolled is always, ALWAYS, a win in my book, and these steak roll ups are no exception.
With an amazingly flavorful Asian marinade, these roll ups are stuffed with four different kinds of vegetables – asparagus spears, zucchini, bell pepper, and carrots, although you can really add more or less veggies to taste.Â
Now I have tried this with flank steak and I was not a fan. It was too thick of a cut, even after pounding it out, and it required too much maintenance. That being said, I highly recommend using thin sliced sirloin. It is a more expensive cut but well worth it. I promise.
These can also be assembled ahead of time and thrown on the grill (or pan seared if you don’t have a grill) and served either as a mind-blowing appetizer or light dinner to sneak in all those veggies for your picky eaters.
If you’re anything like us, you’ll munch on these as an appetizer early on in the day, and then devour the rest for dinner, and then again as a midnight snack.
Asian Steak Roll Ups
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces asparagus, trimmed
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
- 1 zucchini, cut into matchsticks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 ½ pounds thin-sliced sirloin or top round steak
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
For the marinade
- ½ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha, optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and Sriracha; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, asparagus, carrots, bell pepper and zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Cut beef into 8 serving-size pieces, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness, if needed.
- Working one at a time, top each beef slice with vegetables, roll up and secure with a toothpick. Reserving 2 tablespoons, brush soy sauce mixture onto the roll ups and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill or place a grill pan over medium high heat.
- Add roll ups to the grill, seam-side down, and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately with remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce mixture, garnished with cilantro and sesame seeds, if desired.

These are absolutely delicious! I cannot recommend them more, my wife and I made these the other day, and I was so impressed. YUM!Â
Easy to make and tastes great.
OMG!!! These were soooooo good!!! I used veggies from the garden so whatever was on hand and had some slim sliced rib eye steak….WOW!!! No leftovers!! Will def make again 🙂
I followed your recipe exactly and the result was amazing, true delicious. I did the recipe twice once using sirloin and the other time using chicken instead. I both occasions the results was finger-licking good.
Simply delicious!
I made this last night, I usually add and suntract from from recipes, but I followed this one and loved it, the whole family did. I will make it again..
I made these last night and they were wonderful! I followed your recommendation and used thin top sirloin steaks. They worked out well. I can see replacing the steak with thin sliced chicken and grilling it for a longer time for something a little different. Thank you the recipe and the very clear directions. I’ll be making this again for sure!
Awesome Laurie, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. Just prepared it and it was awesome
Would light or dark soy work best in this recipe?
Light!
I love Asian food. This recipe looks very delicious. I will try it soon.
Thank for share !
So delighted to come across your recipe–made this using sirloin steak and grilled them. It was absolutely delicious! They came out looking more like burritos, with the rolled meat covering all but the tips of the veggies. So with the left-overs I sliced them into beautiful sushi-like rounds. Disappeared quickly the next day when served as appetizers–they’re great at room temp or straight from the fridge.
Great idea dear, hope it will be delirious for me and my family member. I will try next week.
Oh my god… I’m making this today, it looks amazing, both myself and my wife LOVE steak. Thanks for sharing, hopefully we’ll get it right!
How well does the meat cook alongside the vegetables? Wouldn’t the vegetables be overcooked by the time the meat is done?
Not at all! 🙂
Thanks for sharing this post. I tried it last sunday party
I was making a research for my mum about how to prepare this recipe and finally come across your blog that put an end to my search terms. I am really glad i came here and i will inform my mum about your site so that she can come read and finally prepare it for the family.
I always try your recipe and this one is delicious.
Oh my. I just made these. They were super easy and super yummy. I didn’t know if they would have enough flavor for me but they were perfect. I think next time I might try a dash of Wasabi in marinade for that extra kick.
Thanks to share. I tried it last sunday party. It very very cruspy.
We made this recipe today to rave reviews from the whole family! I left out the asparagus as the kids don’t care for it, but just added more red peppers and carrots. Amazing!!
This recipe is the most suitable for a BBQ party in a cold winter day. I tried to use some lemongrass to make the dish tasty, and the result exceeded expectation. Yummy!
The picture at the top of this post absolutely sent chills up my spine. I LOVE all things Asian and have committed to a somewhat low carb diet so these will be perfect for a quick dinner!
Holy delicious. I am SO glad I found my way to this recipe…. looks AMAZING!
The food is amazing, i love the asian roll ups ! They are my favorites !
Asian Steak Roll Ups is so delicious. Its color is so beautiful and I think its will be taste is actually very wonderful. I will try it.)
I have enjoyed making many of your recipes with rave reviews. For this Asian Steak Roll Up recipe, I used a 2 1/2 lb tri tip and sliced it into thin strips. I marinated the strips for 2 hours. I sauteed the vegetables like you said and rolled them up in the marinated meat. I put the roll ups in a fish grill basket and barbecued them for 2-3 minutes/side. They turned out tender and delicious!
Can I use Rib Eye for this ????
Yes, absolutely.
Love the pictures and the way you made that food is amazing!
Hello Chungah,
Though the post is a year old, I stumbled upon today and found it very healthy and mouth watering recipe. I am a big fond of grilled recipes and this fits perfect for my dinner.
Thanks for sharing.
I love Asian food. This recipe looks very delicious. I will try it soon.
Thank for share !
Hello! Would it work if I place the roll ups in a preheated oven placed in a baking tray?
That sounds like a great idea but without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment.
Very easy and cool delicous after finishing the steak roll. Thanks for sharing this article
Thanks so much for sharing your great recipes! I’m sure we’ve all felt the need to try new stuff, and your food blog has really helped me with that. In the past I’ve tried your teriyaki salmon with sriacha mayo (LOVE!!!) and your mexican quinoa skillet dinner that I saw through pinterest. I’m going to try this recipe sometime this week. A perfect mix of healthy and flavorful 🙂
ASIAN STEAK ROLL UPS : This recipe i learned from your website. And the first time, i try to do it for our dinner and my husband was love it so much. Thank you for sharing this recipe.Â
The beauty of these are they are so easy to make. Thanks for sharing!
Asian Steak Roll Ups is so delicious. Its color is so beautiful  and I think its taste is actually very wonderful. I will try it…
Thank you!
Thanks CHUNGAH for this tasty dish although i have never eaten asian food. With lots of vegetables, these steak roll ups will serve as meaty and healthy dinner for the family.
This food is really delicious. I usually make twice per week for my family.
What a great idea! I am going to try this at my next gathering. They look so cool.

 I love your recipes! My son will like it! It looks delicious to me. Thanks
These rolls look fantastic! Great idea to wrap the veggies inside.
Great dish. I made it last Sunday. It’s always nice to have variety with dinner.
Yummy, sound so delicious. I must try it on next weekend. Kids will love it. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! It looks so yummy and healthy at the same time! I love those thin-sliced steaks and how you put the seshame seeds and tiny pieces of vegetable on them. I prefer grilling. It will be perfect for dinner night with the whole family. Thank you so much for sharing!
Interesting recipe, with lots of veggies making the dish colorful and yummy, I also loved the photos, will try it out soon at my home.
I enjoyed the post as well as the comments and i think Irene has raise an interesting suggestion, using skirt steak might be an innovative idea.
I am looking to make this for a friend. Is this something I can make and she can warm up later for dinner or do you think the meat will get to tough? Should I cook the meat thoroughly or just a few minutes so when she heats it up later it won’t be too tough? any help would be appreciated. Cannot wait to try this yummy recipe.
I would recommend the latter – cooking it for a few minutes so that it is not overcooked too much when this is reheated.
I made this for a meal for the family and it was devoured by all from Grandma (that’s me) down to my 11-year-old granddaughter. (The two younger boys were suspicious only because they don’t like beef.) A large platter was quickly demolished and my granddaughter asked me to PLEASE make it again soon. And it certainly could not be faster or easier to make. I highly recommend it to everyone. Thanks for a super delicious recipe!
Hi! I love your recipes!!
You mentioned the grill pan you use and the website you purchased it from in an earlier posting BUT i was hoping yo could tell me the size of the pan and also the deptness. I want your exact pan 🙂 I very new at cooking and need a little help.
Thanks!!!
Mars, I went ahead and posted a link to the exact pan to a previous comment of yours. 🙂
I made this tonight and it was delicious!
I was reading through the comments and someone inquired about the pan you use. I went to Amazon and saw the lodge cast iron grill pan but i am looking at different sizes, shapes, and deptness. Can you please past a link to the exact pan you use from amazon so i can purchase the exact one.
Thanks 🙂
The grill pan used here is the Lodge L8SGP3 Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Square Grill Pan, 10.5-inch. Hope that helps!
I tried Vietnamese Steak roll, it’s delicious but they also use some roller i dont know their name, look like it made from rice or something, did you ever try that for this dish?
I actually have not tried it but it sounds amazing!
Could you use pork or chicken to do something like this? I have a beef allergy! Thanks.
Yes, of course!
i had thinly sliced Kobe beef in my fridge and thanks to you i had the right recipe for it!
Thanks I tried this with great success… loved it… I hope you don’t mind I put a link to your blog on my blog having shown my use of the recipe…

Goodness! These ( like every other recipe of yours I have tried) were great! Used our panini press thingie to grill veggies and the assembled steak roll ups, and it was all just much quicker and tastier than I expected. Thanks!
What a great idea! I am going to try this at my next gathering. They look so cool.
I could definitely power through all of these. Yum!
Is that actually long enough to cook the veggies inside? I would think you would have to put them in the oven a few mins to really cook the veggies. Looks so yummy!
If the veggies are cut into matchsticks as directed in the recipe, the cooking time should be more than sufficient. But as always, please do what works best and what is most comfortable for you and your preferences.
Asian Steak Roll Ups is so delicious. Its color is so beautiful with many ingredients and I think its taste is actually very wonderful. I will try it…
Have you ever tried using skirt steak for this?
I actually have not.
I’m so glad I’ve found you and love your recipes simple and real and healthy !
I’d like to try the Asian steak roll-ups on my BBQ outside, but would love to have the searing grill that you show in your photos. Any suggestions where I could get one like what you pictured ?
Thank you for your recipes !
I purchased this from Amazon.com. It is the Lodge Cast-Iron Square Grill Pan.
What size should the pieces of beef be? And what shape — long and skinny, square, rectangular? Thanks!
Barbara, the size of the beef can be cut according to your personal preference.
WONDERING … CUT SIRLOIN CROSS WISE, LENGTH WISE OR SLICED LIKE A SHEET CAKE ??? YOU MENTIONED POUNDING A FLANK STEAK …. MADE ME WONDE ABOUT THE CUTTING DIRECTION. THANKS !
Toni, the length and width of the beef can be cut according to your personal preference.
What a great idea. These would be perfect for dinner in my house. I love that I can do them ahead of time and then just throw on the grill when it’s dinner time!
