Instructions: Mix ingredients for marinade in bowl. Marinate beef in it for about 30 minutes.

String the beans. Pare and cut carrot into matchstick-size pieces. Boil string beans and carrot for 1 to 2 minutes and drain in colander. Heat sesame oil in frying pan and saute string beans and carrot, season with salt and pepper. Remove and let cool.

Wash burdock and scrape off thin brown skin with back of knife. Cut into quarters lengthwise and soak briefly in water containing vinegar to prevent discoloration. Boil for a few minutes in fresh water containing vinegar and drain in colander.

Mix ingredients for simmering liquid and boil in pot. Add burdock and continue cooking until soft. Remove burdock and let cool.

Divide beef into thirds, flatten one by one on cutting board, flour with cornstarch and roll with string beans, carrots and burdok inside. Wet rolled edge and press to seal well.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Lightly grease oven plate with cooking oil. With rolled edge down, place beef rolls on oven plate and bake for 10 to 12 minutes (when baking in high-speed gas oven), until brown. Baste beef with remaining marinade every 4 to 5 minutes. Can also be panbroiled thoroughly in a frying pan.

Cut beef rolls into bite-size pieces and place on serving plate. Garnish with leaves and/or pickled vegetables cut decoratively (for example, like flowers).
