Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wagyu Beef

    Season the wagyu beef with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Vegetables

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the red bell pepper until charred and tender, about 4-5 minutes per side. Also grill the green onions until charred, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the grill and let cool.

  3. 3

    Grill the Wagyu Beef

    Place the marinated wagyu beef on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Rice Paper

    Soak the rice paper wrappers in warm water for about 10-15 seconds until soft. Lay them flat on a clean surface.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Rolls

    On each rice paper wrapper, place a slice of grilled wagyu, a piece of grilled red pepper, a few charred green onions, and some fresh cilantro. Roll tightly, folding in the sides as you go.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the tiger cry rolls with additional soy sauce for dipping.
