Saw the thumbnail and clicked instantly! The cut off ends and test cooked items are always the chef's reward, 😆

Really enjoyed that eating segment, good to see you enjoy the fruits of your labor, also def preferred hearing your more natural voice during it

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks Deercapitate, I'll try and include them more frequently!

[@lisaleha]

I just got some A5 and going to try your recipe! 😬 can’t wait!

[@NoRecipes]

Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!

[@kathcares]

I think I would just love a plate of those crusts and Wagu Katsu ends! Tasty AF indeed!😉 A guilty pleasure cook's treat!😊 When I serve the dish, nobody knows I've eaten the best part already.🤫

[@NoRecipes]

Hahaha! As a kid, I hated crusts on bread but as a grownup I actually like it and it helps to hold all the stuff in. Had to trim them off for this though to keep it real😆

[@arkonite]

That looks so tasty! Maybe one day I will get to try wagyu 😊

[@NoRecipes]

Thanks! It's starting to become more widely available outside Japan. If you have a local Japanese supermarket, try looking there. Otherwise there are online retailers that carry it.

[@arkonite]

@@NoRecipes i live in Northern Ireland, so my chances of getting some are slim to none!

[@NoRecipes]

Well, maybe you'll have a chance to come out to Japan someday😉

[@tesscook1]

I'm glad you let us see you taking a few bites of this wagyu katsu sando because it added to the enjoyment of this video. Where did you buy this cut of beef? When I go back to Japan, I want to buy some of this high grade beef and ask my aunt to make it for me!

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Tess, thanks for your nice note! I don't usually include the eating scenes because I usually shoot these out of sequence, but I'll try and add these clips in from time to time! I picked up the beef on sale at a local super market. If you're in the US, there are some online shops that carry it.

[@jordanhorvath8524]

didn't follow your recipe for this, but I used your recipe for the japanese curry and that turned out amazing .. gave you a sub ! thank you for the content

Hi Marc - I just discovered your blog and commented on your kimchi bokkeumbap recipe. Great site! I'm not a sandwich guy, but this sandwich made me say "Oh lord.." while I was watching. I'll have to try this when I can find some wagyu. Thanks for posting!

[@NoRecipes]

Hi tanluwils, welcome to the blog and channel! I'm not much of a sandwich guy either, but there are a few I love, and this is one of them!

[@PedroRodriguez-is7ub]

Muy bueno

[@mimicobb9315]

whats cut of the beef is best for this sandwich?

[@NoRecipes]

For this it's less about the cut and more about the grade. You ideally want to use Japanese wagyu with a Japanese ranking of A5 (other countries have similar sounding rankings, but they are not the same). Assuming you use A5 wagyu most cuts are going to be tender so you could use anything from a sirloin to flat iron to filet. I used sirloin for this.

[@mimicobb9315]

@@NoRecipes thank you. But in Thailand A5 is very very expensive so do a australian beef could use?

[@NoRecipes]

@@mimicobb9315 It will work, but it won't be the same. When made with A5 you could eat this sandwich without teeth. Aussie beef will likely require some more effort to chew. I'd recommend using a very tender cut like tenderloin, otherwise you'll probably want to eat the sandwich with a fork and knife.

[@faisalamir1928]

How do you get it to medium? Deep fry it longer?

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Faisal, there are a few options. 1) lower the oil temperature to 170 C or so, this will allow you to fry it for longer without burning the outside 2) Use a thinner cut of beef which will cook through faster.

[@faisalamir1928]

@@NoRecipes Ok got it. I've never cooked before, but would want to start with this as it looks pretty damn good. Really appreciate your reply!

[@NoRecipes]

@@faisalamir1928 Hi Faisal, I don't want to discourage you, but if this is your first time cooking something you might want to start with something more basic. Deep frying requires a fair amount of skill, and wagyu is such an expensive product it would be a shame if it didn't go well. Chicken katsu uses a similar process and the meat will be much cheaper so you can practice a few times until you have the technique down: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYXIYoCKf8lkm5Y If you really want to do something with Wagyu, this might be an easier one to tackle: norecipes.com/chaliapin-steak-don/ Since it's pan fried the process goes a little more slowly and it's a little easier to tell when it's done to your liking since you can just cut into it to check. You might also want to consider picking up an instant read digital thermometer which is an easy way to see when meat is done to your liking (google "steak temperature") to see charts of temperatures and doneness.

[@nickstoli]

Wow, that looks awesome. If I had a deserted island choice, I think I'd have to decide between wagyu katsu sando and from scratch curry.

[@NoRecipes]

HI Jay, those seem like two solid options, though if it's all I was going to be able to eat indefinitely I might go for the curry.

[@witcharsonist9678]

God, it's perfect!

[@NoRecipes]

Midnight snack? 😉

[@chickenlover5361]

where do you get that wagyu meat? wholefood?

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Andy, I got it at a local supermarket here in Tokyo. The beef is from Kagoshima. Wagyu literally means "Japanese beef" and it generally refers to one of 4 breeds of cattle. The stuff sold at most supermarkets in the US is not actually wagyu as it's produced in the US and the beef usually comes from cattle that have been aggressively crossbred with non-Japanese breeds such as Angus. If you want to get real wagyu you'll need to find a butcher that carries it (usually found in bigger cities), a Japanese supermarket, or try looking online.

[@fadhilahharmen1437]

Hey, i'm new to your channel and i really love japanese dish. However as a muslim i cannot use sake in my dish. Is there any non alcohol alternative for sake substitute? Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. Looks very delicious

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Fadhilah, sake has a high concentration of naturally occurring glutamates due to the breakdown of the protein in the rice during fermentation. This is what gives the sauce the taste of umami. If you don't want to use sake, the closest substitute would be to use water and add some MSG (which is a lab synthesized form of glutamate)

[@fadhilahharmen1437]

Thank you so much

[@benthrasher9739]

My god... Damn you, Marc! Damn you! I'm in quarantine eating canned green beans and you subject me to this? Pure evil!

😆 My timings never been good. I shot this a few weeks ago before things got this bad and I really debated whether to sit on this for a few more weeks before releasing it. In the end, I decided to put it out to give people a chance to enjoy it vicariously. Will try and do more practical stuff in the coming weeks.

[@benthrasher9739]

@@NoRecipes Oh no, please don't feel like you should avoid putting out content. People need youtube in a time when you just have to sit around all day in your house. Thanks to all the cooking skills I've learned from using your website for years, I have been eating pretty well with some sub-par ingredients. Sometimes heavy restrictions can force interesting creative decisions. Keep it up!

[@NoRecipes]

@@benthrasher9739 I'm with you on restrictions being a driving force for creativity. I've been going through the pantry and freezer the past couple of weeks and it's been fun just improvising dishes.

[@erinuber2881]

Hi Marc! This looks like such an amazing sandwich! I've never had wagyu beef, and it would be fun to try a little bite of it one day if I had the chance. This looks so great...thanks for the wonderful lesson. I hope you and your loved ones are staying well. Thinking of you and sending lots of good wishes your way!

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Erin, we're doing well over here! Wagyu is super rich, so it's definitely not the kind of thing you want to eat every day, and a little goes a long way. I hope you're able to give it a try someday. How have you been doing?

[@erinuber2881]

@No Recipes I'm doing okay, thankfully. Trying to stay at home, as many people are. For me, it would be best to do grocery shopping by delivery right now, but they are so overwhelmed with requests that I can't get an appointment! So I am venturing out this morning. The last time I was in the store so many things were sold out, even tofu! I hope I have better luck today. Please take good care, and enjoy the sakura!

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Erin, good luck with grocery shopping! The weather has been so nice here the past week, but I haven't ventured out much. I have a whole balcony of vegetables and herbs that are thriving though, so I'm looking forward to the day they bear fruit. Please take care of yourself and stay safe!

[@benthrasher9739]

What's your opinion on American Wagyu? Obviously the quality will vary by farm. The only Wagyu I've ever had was from a local farmer. He was selling chuck at half price and I just ate it like any other steak, cooked a perfect medium rare via sous vide. It was one of the best steaks I've ever had. I hope that one day I can justify buying an A5 steak from japan.

[@NoRecipes]

Hi Edmond, I go into more detail about it in my blog post, but I find that term "American Wagyu" to be very misleading. The first thing is that Wagyu means "Japanese Beef", so it doesn't make much sense to call something made outside of Japan Wagyu. I'd be more okay with it if they were breeding Japanese cattle and raising them using the same techniques as in Japan, but I don't know of any ranches outside of Japan raising full-blood Japanese breeds (such as Japanese Black, Japanese Brown, Japanese Shorthorn, and Japanese Polled). Most are raising crossbred cattle because the Japanese government banned exports of live cattle decades ago. Although the meat from these ranches is often better than the stuff in supermarkets, I don't think the improvement justifies the prices I've seen being asked it. Hopefully you'll have a chance to try the real stuff someday.

[@saransh_group]

I made that sauce cause steak was too costly to buy well I really like it with chicken sandwich tho

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the sauce! I also have a chicken katsu recipe you could use to make a chicken katsu sandwich with this sauce.

Its so sad to see that this video got so little views... but i guess there is not a lot of people cooking A5 Wagyu beef. And the ones that do, wouldnt put it in a sandwich.

[@NoRecipes]

Yea, the timing I released this was pretty bad (I recorded it before any of the lockdowns started happening). In retrospect I probably should have held onto it until things get a little better.

[@hugo.verdugo]

@@NoRecipes Maybe just relauch it when times get better. Or do a version with a more affortable cut, but aiming to get the same tenderness in the beer. 😁

A) As much as I don’t usually approve of trendy, unnecessarily expensive takes on fast food, I’m 100% onboard with this video. It looks delicious. B) I’m not sure if you’ve ever been to New York or met a New Yorker, but, if we ever call anything that we a produce a “California __”, that’s just a humble euphemism for the fact that we’ve created something entirely substandard. Otherwise, we’d put our own brand on it. Honestly, the only truly high quality New York product that comes to mind which we’ve attributed to another locale is Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Apparently, back when we invented it, Philly was a cowtown associated with high quality milk.

[@NoRecipes]

Hi David, I'm with you on the trendy stuff for the most part, but occasionally these trends actually hit on some good stuff (Basque cheesecake is another one). As for B), I used to live in NY, and chose those states to use in my analogy for that very reason😆
