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.

Cooking Instructions

4 hours
  1. 1

    Immerse wagyu beef in a plastic bag in a bowl with cold water, or regular beef with a slice of papaya on top, press air out so the beef does not float out of the water. Turn oven to 164F degrees, your lowest oven setting. Raw Beef will be foodsafe at 164F degrees. If your oven setting is 170F degrees, put bowl in bottom of oven. When the beef in bag and glass water bowl have warmed up to 164F degrees, done. My oven took 3 hours.

  2. 2

    Trim any exterior fat or silverskin from the slow cooked beef. Rub beef with 1/2 Tsp of flaked seasalt and rest half an hour. Slice beef in 1/4” thick strips, trim off any marbled fat, make strips fit the sushi rice rolls.

  3. 3

    Bring half a cup of rice to boil in a cup of water and few drops of soy sauce and sesame oil, cool, covered, one hour. Mix 2 tsp rice vinegar with 2 tsp palm sugar, mix into the rice. Squeeze 4 palm size rice balls per person, roll into tubes.

  4. 4

    Make miso soup. Bring 4 Tsp dashi bonito flakes and natto paste to boil in 4 cups water. Add seaweed, add chopped green garlic scapes, add diced tofu, add four drops of soy sauce and fish sauce per cup, serve with grated radishes, gari, wasabi paste and light soy sauce.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
