Ingredients:
1 pound sirloin steak
Asparagus
Green onions

6 tablespoons rice vinegar
6 tablespoons dark soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Directions:

2. Put two asparaguses and a green onion in the middle of a steak. Roll the steak tightly around asparaguses and green onions then secure with a toothpick, put in an ungreased pan.

3. In the bowl combine rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil. Pour the mixture onto the steak rolls, refrigerate for 10 minutes. Bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes.
