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.
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!
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!!
