INGREDIENTS

• 1 LB Double 8 Cattle Company Fullblood Wagyu Pulled Beef
• 2 Egg Knot Rolls/Buns
• 6 TBSP Butter (softened)
• 2 TSP Garlic Powder (plus additional as needed)
• 4 SLICE Swiss Cheese

• 4 CUP Beef Stock
• 1/4 TSP Thyme (dried)
• 1 TSP Kosher Salt
• 1 TSP Sherry
• 1 TBS Worcestershire Sauce

Tools

• Large Microwave-Safe Bowl
• Bread Knife
• Grill or Oven
• Stovetop or Outdoor Propane Burner
• Cutting Board
• Large Cast Iron Skillet
• Ladle
• Basting Brush
• Small Bowl
• Spatula

FIRST STEP

Take the Fullblood Wagyu pulled beef (this product is pre-cooked) out of the freezer, and place it in the refrigerator 24 hours before starting this recipe.

PREPARING THE AU JUS

Preheat the grill to 350°F. You can also preheat your oven at this time if you aren’t using a grill.

While the grill is preheating, place a large skillet over high heat (on the stovetop or outdoor propane burner).

Add the beef stock, dried thyme, kosher salt, sherry, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Turn the burner off, and set the Au Jus aside.

PREPARING THE WAGYU BEEF

Take the Wagyu pulled beef out of the packaging, and place it in a large, microwave-safe mixing bowl.

Microwave the Wagyu beef for about 30 seconds – this makes the beef easier to work with.

Then, break up the Wagyu pulled beef, and add a ladle-full of Au Jus to the beef.

Set it aside until ready to use.

PREPARING THE SANDWICHES

Cut the two egg knot rolls/buns in half.

Brush the insides with melted butter, and sprinkle the insides with garlic powder.

Set the top buns aside.

On each of the two bottom buns, add a slice of Swiss cheese, a scoop of pulled beef, and one more slice of cheese.

NOTE: Do not add the top buns yet.

Place the open-facing sandwiches (with no top bun) on the preheated grill.

Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Once the cheese has melted, turn off the grill, and place the sandwiches on a plate using a spatula

Lastly, add the top buns to the two sandwiches.

FINAL STEPS

Ladle the Au Jus into a small bowl, and serve it with the Wagyu beef French dip sandwiches.

Enjoy!
