Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing all your fresh produce. For the baby greens, submerge them in cool water for a few minutes to ensure they are crisp and vibrant. After washing, gently pat them dry.
Step 2
Prepare the asparagus by trimming off the tough, woody ends. Blanch the spears in boiling water for just a minute or two until they are tender-crisp. Thinly slice the onion into fine julienne strips and soak them in the same cold water as the baby greens to mellow their sharpness and enhance their crunch. Mince the garlic into thin slivers. For the grapefruit, carefully remove all the white pith and peel, then segment the juicy red flesh. In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with salt and pepper, mixing gently to ensure even seasoning.
Step 3
Now, let’s assemble the beef rolls! Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over a bamboo sushi rolling mat. Spread the seasoned beef thinly and evenly over the plastic wrap. Layer the processed cheese slices, strips of bacon, and the blanched asparagus spears on top of the beef. Carefully use the bamboo mat to roll everything up tightly, forming neat cylinders. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Place the beef rolls seam-side down and sear until golden brown and cooked through on all sides. While the rolls are cooking, gently toast the tortilla on a dry pan until warm and slightly crisp.
Step 4
Finally, it’s time for presentation. On a clean serving plate, arrange the fresh salad greens attractively. Slice the cooked beef rolls into bite-sized pieces and place them alongside the salad. Serve the warm tortilla on the side. Offer the garlic dipping sauce and mustard sauce in small bowls for dipping. Enjoy your beautifully presented and delicious beef rolls!
