Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Clean the Hen of the Woods mushrooms and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the shishito peppers and pat them dry.

  2. 2

    Cook the Wagyu

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Season the A5 Wagyu beef with salt and black pepper. Once the skillet is hot, add the beef and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the shishito peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to blister. Add the Hen of the Woods mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown. Drizzle with shoyu and stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Slice the rested Wagyu beef against the grain and serve it alongside the sautéed mushrooms and shishito peppers. Drizzle any remaining shoyu from the skillet over the top.
