1
Prepare the Wagyu Beef
Finely chop the wagyu beef using a sharp knife. Ensure the pieces are small and uniform for the best texture.
2
Season the Beef
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped wagyu beef with aged tamari, sea salt, and fresh ground black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the beef.
3
Prepare Cured Egg Yolks
If you haven’t done this ahead of time, cure the egg yolks by placing them in a mixture of salt and sugar for at least 24 hours. After curing, rinse the yolks gently.
4
Assemble the Tartare
On a serving plate, place the seasoned wagyu beef in the center. Create a small well in the middle and carefully place the cured egg yolk on top.
5
Add Tapioca Pearls
Sprinkle the sesame tapioca pearls around the beef tartare for added texture and presentation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with finely chopped chives and serve immediately. Enjoy your wagyu tartare with additional tamari on the side, if desired.
