This Beef Negimaki Stir Fry takes all the delicious flavors of beef negimaki and puts them into a stir fry, so dinner is ready in under 30 minutes. Although green beans aren’t part of traditional negimaki, they’re added to this stir fry for extra vegetables. The flank steak, green beans, and scallions are covered in a sweet and savory sauce and served over watercress for a light dinner. Rice is optional, but I personally love it and thought it was great as a side.

Beef Negimaki Stir Fry deconstructs beef negimaki (Japanese meat sushi) and serves it with green beans to make it a stir fry main dish.

  • 1 pound flank steak
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup sake or dry white wine, optional
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon clover honey or pure maple syrup
  • Coconut or avocado oil
  • 8 ounces French green beans, cut in half
  • 1 bunch scallions, green parts only, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 5 ounces watercress, about 4 cups packed

  • Slice the steak as thinly as possible against the grain. Season generously with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  • In a small bowl, stir together the sake (if using), tamari, vinegar, and honey until dissolved.

  • Set a large wok or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add a thin layer of oil and arrange the steak in an even layer.

  • Brown the meat, flipping once, until there’s a dark sear on both sides, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a bowl.

  • Add the green beans and sauce to the pan. Simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by half and the beans are al dente, about 3 minutes.

  • Return the beef to the pan along with the scallions and toss to coat in the sauce.

  • To serve, arrange the watercress on a platter and top with the beef stir-fry and sauce. Serve immediately alongside white rice, if you like.
