Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Lay beef steak on a cutting board and pound it thin with a mallet until about 1/4-inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Layer carrots, cheese, and pickled vegetables across the center. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks or tie with kitchen twine.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear the roll 2 minutes per side until browned.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk soy sauce, ketchup, and broth together, then pour into the pan around the roll.

  5. Step 5

    Reduce heat to medium and simmer 8–10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the roll is cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    Remove toothpicks or twine, slice into 1-inch-thick rounds, and serve with sauce spooned over the top.
