Translated as ‘Japanese cow’, Wagyu beef is one of the most sought after types of beef around the world. Renown for its exceptional marbling presence, Wagyu steak cuts are some of the most succulent and flavoursome; a truly first-rate eating experience.
In this recipe, we’ll be making a hearty Wagyu Sandwich- mixing Japanese food and flavours with a classic sandwich recipe. While you could use most cuts of beef in a sandwich, we’ll be using the sirloin as it’s generally the most tender.
As one of the many beef recipes that’s both simple yet effective, the Wagyu Sandwich is bound to go down a treat.
