This is the beef tataki that I usually make for New Year's. It can be eaten as it is or in a sushi roll like this. It's very popular at parties and as a post-drinks snack.

When you place the sushi rice on top of the seaweed, the seaweed will suck up the moisture and become sticky. So I used baking paper and cling film to roll it, which makes it easier to peel off than a sushi mat.
For Step 2 when you are evening out the layer of rice, coat your hands in a mixture of 200 ml water and 1 tablespoon vinegar. This will prevent the grains of rice from sticking to them. Recipe by piyopiyonist3

Steps

1

Slice the thin slices of beef tataki into narrow strips.
2

Lay 2 sheets of the nori seaweed over the top of a sheet of parchment paper and spread an even layer of sushi rice over the top.
3

Sprinkle the roasted sesame seeds over the top of the rice. Lay another sheet of cling film over the rice, press everything down gently, and leave the roll to sit.
4

Flip the layers over so that the nori seaweed is on top. I've used a layer of cling film instead of parchment paper so that you can see the order more clearly.
5

Peel away the parchment paper and place the strips of beef tataki in a line on top of the seaweed, around 1 cm from the edge of the roll.
6

While pressing the sides in through the cling film to maintain a good shape, roll the sushi roll away from you.
7

Wrap the roll in cling film and adjust the ends of the roll to neaten up the shape.
8

Slice the roll into 3 pieces. For each slice, wipe away any grains of rice that have stuck to the knife with a damp sheet of kitchen paper. This will give you a cleaner cut.
9

If you don't like meat, you can fill the roll with crab sticks, tamagoyaki, and cucumber for a colourful alternative.
