Martabak Javanese Beef Rolls Recipes

MARTABAK (JAVANESE BEEF ROLLS)

Steps:

• In a wok or skillet, drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the beef and stir in the garlic, salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Cook, stirring often and breaking up the beef, until browned. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Once thoroughly cooled, mix in green onions and shallots. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the beaten egg and stir the remaining into the beef mixture.
• Place one egg roll wrapper on work surface and cover the others to keep them from drying out. Place about 1/4 cup of beef mixture in center of wrapper. Fold two of the edges over the center. Brush the other two edges with reserved egg and fold over towards center to seal and create a square shape.
