Steps

1

PREPARING THE MARINADE
Combine the yogurt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, chopped oregano, chopped garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth. This is your yogurt marinade.Put the Fullblood Wagyu underblade roast in a Ziploc bag, and pour the yogurt marinade over the roast.Seal the bag, and place it in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours
2

PREPARING THE FULLBLOOD WAGYU UNDERBLADE ROAST
Pull the marinated Fullblood Wagyu roast from the refrigerator, and allow it to sit at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.Preheat the oven to 450°F. Remove the roast from the marinade, and let the marinade drain off (do not rinse the marinade off).Place the roast on a roasting rack. Cook at 450°F for 20 minutes.Reduce the temperature to 325°F, and roast for 50 minutes (for a rare finish) or 75 minutes (for a well done finish).
3

While the roast is in the oven, make the tzatziki sauce.Check the roast with a probe thermometer for a temperature of 120°F to 125°F (for a medium-rare finish).
4

PREPARING THE TZATZIKI SAUCE
Mix all of the sauce ingredients (Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, horseradish, and grated cucumber) in a medium bowl.Place the bowl of sauce in the refrigerator until ready to use.
5

PREPARING THE GRILLED ONIONS AND PITA BREAD
Cut off both ends of the onions, and remove the peel.Cut the onions into half-inch rings.Heat a BBQ or gas grill on medium-high heat.Grill the onions until they have wilted and have grill marks on them. Set aside.Grill the pita bread on the hot grill for 1 minute per side (just to get the grill marks on the bread). Don’t leave them on the grill too long, or they will be tough.
6

FINAL STEPS
Remove the Fullblood Wagyu underblade roast from the oven, and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.Slice the roast against the grain into thin, 1-inch strips.Serve warm on the grilled pita bread with the tzatziki sauce, grilled onions, watercress, mint leaves, and cherry tomatoes
Enjoy!
