Ingredients

4 servings
Wagyu beef, thinly sliced (e.g., for shabu-shabu or sukiyaki)200 g
Cultured ghee45 g
Fresh ginger, grated1 tbsp
Pure wasabi paste (sugar-free, check label)1 tsp
Black garlic, finely minced2 cloves
Fresh lime, zest and juice0.5 fruit
Zero-carb fish sauce0.5 tsp
Fresh chives, finely chopped1 tbsp
Flaky sea saltto taste
Freshly cracked black pepperto taste

Method

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Arrange the thinly sliced Wagyu beef in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring no pieces overlap. Lightly season with flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
3
Roast the beef for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are beautifully crisp and caramelized, exhibiting a deep Maillard reaction, while the center remains exquisitely tender. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking due to its thinness.
4
While the beef roasts, prepare the aromatic ghee: In a small saucepan, gently melt the cultured ghee over low heat. Stir in the grated fresh ginger, pure wasabi paste, and finely minced black garlic. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and infuse into the fat.
5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and zero-carb fish sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
6
Transfer the hot, roasted Wagyu beef bites to a warmed serving dish. Drizzle generously with the infused wasabi-ginger ghee, ensuring each piece is coated.
7
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately as an exceptional late-night indulgence.
