Instructions

Preparation 

• Pull out wagyu beef cubes out of the freezer, and place them in the refrigerator 24 hours before starting this recipe 
• Remove the beef cubes from the refrigerator, or diced the meat if haven’t. 
• Place the beef cubes on a plate to come up to room temperature, then start the fingerling potatoes 
• Heat the oven to 450°F, hot. 

Potatoes

• In a medium bowl, toss the fingerling potatoes (cut in half lengthwise) with the grapeseed oil.
• Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper to the bowl, and continue to toss
• Once the skillet is hot (from being in the oven), place all of the oil-coated potatoes cut-side-down in the pan
• Cook the fingerling potatoes for 25 minutes
• Pull the cast iron skillet from the oven, and mix in the julienned shallot and the sliced/quartered garlic cloves.
• Place the skillet back in the oven, and cook for 10 minutes. 
• Pull the skillet from the oven, and place the potatoes, shallots, and garlic in a small bowl.

Wagyu Beef Cubes

• Put the empty cast iron skillet on medium-high heat on the stove top
• Add in 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil to coat the bottom of the pan
• Place beef cubes in the pan in a single layer 
• Season the cubes with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Sear the beef for 3-4 minutes, turning the beef half way through the process to get a deep golden sear on the cubes
• add in the whole butter and minced garlic, while stirring. This will help coat the cubes while cooking the garlic. 
• Put the cubes on one side if the skillet. 
• Place the roasted fingerling potatoes, garlic, and shallots back in the pan.
