California Farm Slow Oven Cooked Wagyu Beef Sushi California Farm Slow Oven Cooked Wagyu Beef Sushi
Wagyu beef is becoming affordable if you use small quantities. Our butcher sells wagyu filet for $24 a pound. To make nigiri sushi, you use $6 per person, so wagyu beef sushi is only for special occasions.This recipe works with regular filet beef also, if you add a slice of fresh papaya to the beef in the bag to tenderize when slow cooking.Cookpad member Liarraliarra posted this, she is allergic to tuna. Thank you Liarraliarra.For slow cooking, I use the lowest setting in my oven and put the beef in a plastic bag with the air pressed out in a bowl of 164F degree water. Slow cooks the beef, doesnt melt the bag, and makes the beef foodsafe.Served with miso soup, gari pickled ginger, wasabi dip, light soy sauce and freshly grated radishes.

Sweet Chirashi Sushi with Skipjack Tuna (Bonito) and Avocado Sweet Chirashi Sushi with Skipjack Tuna (Bonito) and Avocado
I enjoy eating skipjack tuna (bonito, katsuo) sashimi on rice, so I thought of this dish. My guests love it too! Speaking of which, my little boy gobbles up about 2/3 of this portion size... .Regular onions don't have enough water content, so microwaving them doesn't release too much water. For those of you that like the strong taste of raw onions, rinse the onions in water and then squeeze, add soy sauce (a bit more), and toss with the rice; this will produce a refreshing taste . You could use salmon or tuna, and eat this when sweet onions are not in season! You can top it with myoga ginger or wasabi as well. For about 4 servings. Recipe by MamemameCafe
