Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Wagyu Pastrami

  1. 1

    Brining the Meat

    In a mixing bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and coriander. Rub this mixture all over the wagyu chuck flap. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

  2. 2

    Smoking the Meat

    Preheat a smoker to 225°F (107°C). Remove the wagyu from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Smoke the chuck flap for about 12 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C).

Truffle Aioli Preparation

  1. 3

    Making the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, truffle oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

The H Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Making The H Sauce

    In a bowl, mix ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, honey, and garlic powder together until well combined. Set aside.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assembling the Sandwich

    Slice the smoked wagyu pastrami thinly. Toast the sourdough bread lightly. Spread truffle aioli on one side of each slice. Layer on the smoked wagyu pastrami and add cornichons. Drizzle with The H Sauce and top with another slice of sourdough. Serve immediately.
