Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, combine the 1 lb sliced beef, 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Toss to coat and let marinate for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Lay the 4 tortillas flat. Divide the cooked beef, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 3 sliced scallions evenly among them, placing the filling in the center of each.

  4. Step 4

    Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure roll. Place seam-side down on a plate.

  5. Step 5

    Set up a steamer with water and bring to a boil. Place the rolls in the steamer basket, cover, and steam until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Remove the rolls from the steamer, let cool for 2 minutes, then slice each roll in half diagonally and serve warm.
