Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound of sirloin steak sliced thinly
  • 1 cup of sushi rice
  • 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cucumber sliced into thin sticks
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
  • Soy sauce
  • Wasabi

Instructions
 

  • The first step in making Steak Sushi is preparing the rice. Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice with water until the water runs clear. Add the rice and 1 cup of water to a pot and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Heat the mixture over low heat until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and add the vinegar mixture. Mix well and let it cool.
  • While the rice is cooking, prepare the steak. Heat a skillet over high heat until it's very hot. Season the thinly sliced sirloin steak with salt and pepper, and sear the steak in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it's browned but still slightly pink in the middle. Once the steak is cooked, transfer it to a plate and let it cool.
  • Now, it's time to assemble the Steak Sushi. Take a sheet of nori and place it shiny side down on a sushi mat. Wet your hands with water and take a handful of rice, and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice.
  • Next, arrange the avocado and cucumber slices over the rice. Place the seared steak slices on top of the avocado and cucumber, leaving a small gap between each slice. Roll the sushi tightly, using the sushi mat to shape it into a cylinder. Apply some pressure to make sure the roll is tight.
  • Once the sushi roll is tightly packed, remove it from the sushi mat and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 1-inch slices, wiping the knife with a wet towel after each cut to keep it clean. Serve the Steak Sushi with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.

Notes

  • Sushi rice is the foundation: It's crucial to get sushi rice right. Rinse and boil rice with the right amount of water and vinegar. Rolling sushi requires wet rice.
  • Thinly sliced beef makes sushi rolling easier. Before slicing the beef, use a meat tenderizer.
  • Steak Sushi is raw, so use fresh components. Use fresh avocado, cucumber, and any other filling veggies.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the sushi wrap evenly. This will make the sushi wrap look nice when served.
  • To avoid coming apart, roll the sushi tightly. Bamboo mats or plastic wrap can tighten the coil.
