Make the Worlds Most Expensive Sandwich at home for less!
The Wagyu Katsu Sando is the world’s most expensive sandwich. It sells on Wall St. in New York City for hundreds of dollars and believe me when I say this, it is worth every penny! But now with our exclusive lines of Wagyu Beef available on at You Need a BBQ, you can make this delectable dish for yourself at home for a fraction of the price. I like to make a couple of subs from the classic Wall Street version to make this sandwich simpler to make at home, so get ready to dive into umami heaven with this sandwich which is sure to excite your taste buds.

Brisket is widely known as the king of meats and people always compare how long they smoke them as a badge of honor. Smoking your brisket for 22 hours does not get you a medal, it gets you over cooked brisket. Briskets should be done in 12 hours or less, after the first couple of hours it does not really absorb more smoke flavor anyways. I developed this recipe for cooking brisket a day in advance because when we teach our classes, there is not enough time to cook a brisket from raw unless I got up at some crazy hour. I handle this by cooking the brisket the day before, chilling it down and then re-heating. The comments we get on the brisket range from “This is incredible” to “This is the best brisket I have ever had”. I do not hide the fact that it’s re-heated, but I usually don’t reveal that until after people have eaten some. So, if you ever have an event that starts before lunch and you want to make sure your brisket is perfect, consider smoking it the day before and re-heating.

Most times when you think of Jalapeno poppers, you think of Jalapenos stuffed with cheese, then breaded and deep fried. Who does not love them as a party snack! These Jalapeno poppers are something else entirely. There are no breadcrumbs, there is no cheese, just loads of beef, bacon, Jalapeno, and flavor. I served these to the staff in the BBQ shop and they were blown away by not only the flavor combination, but how well the Jalapeno heat was smoothed out by the fat in the bacon and beef.

Tomahawk steaks are considered by many to be the king of all the steaks. They are without a doubt the most expensive steak that you can buy, partly because you are paying for all that bone, but also because they are worth it! There is something so primal and amazing about a bone in ribeye, and seeing the long bone sticking out and across the grill gives you a fantastic handle for flipping the steak, but also adds flavor. Frenching the bone (cleaning the meat off of it) makes this Steak look like a giant meat sucker on a stick. Do not be intimidated by this outlandishly large piece of meat, it cooks up easily, just like a normal ribeye.

I love steak tacos! Ground beef is my go-to, but on special occasions, breaking out a skirt steak and some fresh flour tortillas, I do not think is a better thing to eat in the hot sun! I like to keep my tacos super simple, beef, avocado, cheese, peppers and onions and sauce. This lethal combination of ingredients will have you crazing more as soon as you are done.

The umami of sesame oil combined with soy and chili in this recipe is quite the flavor explosion. This recipe involves marinating your steaks for at least a few hours and then finishing with a fresh herb sauce that will blow your mind. I first used this recipe when competing in a live cooking contest at the Edmonton Home Show on the food stage. I was victorious in the contest and have loved this recipe ever since.
