Mastering the Art of Chinese Five-Spice Beef Rolls

The secret to these irresistible beef rolls lies in the marinade. By infusing the thinly sliced beef with a blend of Chinese five-spice powder, soy sauce, brown sugar, and a touch of sesame oil, you'll unlock a symphony of flavors that will have your guests raving.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb thinly sliced beef (flank steak or sirloin work well)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced
• Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Marinade and Assembly:

1. In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, Chinese five-spice powder, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.
2. Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat your backyard campfire or portable fire pit to medium-high heat.
4. Take a small handful of the marinated beef and place it at the end of a soaked bamboo skewer. Tightly roll the beef around the skewer, securing it with the green onion slices.
5. Carefully place the beef rolls on the grill grate or fire pit, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked through and slightly charred.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the Chinese Five-Spice Beef Rolls hot off the fire, accompanied by a simple salad or steamed rice. The combination of the tender, flavorful beef and the smoky, charred notes from the campfire will have your guests reaching for seconds.
