Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the American Wagyu beef generously with black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C). Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Slice the Beef

    After resting, thinly slice the Wagyu beef against the grain to ensure tenderness. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Baguette

    While the beef is resting, cut the French baguette pieces in half lengthwise. If desired, lightly toast them in the skillet or oven until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette half. Layer the sliced Wagyu beef evenly on the bottom half of the baguette, then place 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the beef.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Heat the assembly in the skillet over low heat or place it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Be careful not to burn the bread.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Close the sandwich with the top half of the baguette. Serve the French Dip with a side of au jus for dipping and enjoy your indulgent meal!
