The chef's touch

00:00Sushi is geometry. Each element fits into a perfect balance.

00:30The vinegared rice rests for an hour — that's where it receives the soul of sushi.

01:15Wagyu, thinly sliced, cold. The seaweed envelops it with the lightness of a veil.

01:50Each bite rolls the rice, meat, and seaweed into a unified flavor.

02:20Wasabi and ginger don't dominate — they whisper alongside.

02:55Serve at room temperature. Wagyu reveals all its fat at eighteen degrees.

Ingredients

2 × 200 gWagyu fillet
30 gUnsalted butter
to tasteFleur de sel
to tasteFreshly ground pepper
2Crushed garlic cloves
2 sprigsFresh thyme
1 sprigFresh rosemary
1 tbsp.Grapeseed oil

Preparation

01
Remove the Wagyu fillets from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking so they can return to room temperature.
02
Pat the fillets dry with paper towel: a perfectly dry surface is essential for a beautiful crust.
03
Season generously with fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper on both sides.
04
Heat a cast iron skillet until it smokes. Add a drizzle of oil.
05
Place the fillets without moving them. Sear for 90 seconds on the first side.
06
Flip, add the butter, crushed garlic, and herbs. Continuously baste with the foaming butter for 60 to 90 seconds.
07
Remove the fillets from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes on a warm plate — this step is crucial.
08
Cut against the grain and serve immediately, drizzled with the herb butter.
