MEAT MIXTURE

Prepare pancakes.

Combine cornstarch, soy sauce and sherry in large bowl. Add raw beef, raw pork, green onions, ginger and garlic; mix until thoroughly combined.

Spread 1/2 cup meat mixture evenly over each pancake, leaving about 1/2 inch border on one side. Starting with opposite side, roll up pancake jelly roll fashion. Place rolls, seam side down in single layer on heatproof plate; place plate on steamer rack. Set rack in large pot or wok of boiling water. Cover and steam 15 minutes. (For best results, steam all rolls at the same time) Just before serving, cut rolls diagonally into quarters. Arrange on serving platter and serve hot.
