Recipe

Wagyu Ribeye Bouchées in Red Wine Jus with Peppers and Carrots

Dinner • Schweiz

Wagyu ribeye is cut into bite-size cubes, marinated with seasoning and macadamia oil, then seared. Vegetables are sautéed and finished in a reduced red wine and beef stock sauce, then the meat is gently reheated to keep it tender.

Why smarter

The meat is only reheated briefly at the end to preserve tenderness and juiciness.

Chef tip

Sear the Wagyu cubes in batches so the pot stays hot and the meat browns instead of steaming.

Method

  1. Cut the Wagyu ribeye steaks into cubes about 3 cm in size.
  2. Mix the meat cubes with the meat seasoning and macadamia oil. Cover and marinate for about 2 hours.
  3. Seed the bell peppers and cut into even cubes. Peel the carrots and cut into sticks about 1 cm thick and 4 cm long. Finely dice the onion.
  4. Heat a heavy cast-iron pot until very hot. Sear the marinated Wagyu cubes in batches until golden brown all over. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.
  5. In the same pot, briefly sauté the diced bell peppers so they still retain some bite. Remove and set aside.
  6. Sauté the diced onion in the pan drippings over medium heat until golden brown. Deglaze with the red wine and reduce to about one third of the original volume.
  7. Add the beef stock and bring to a boil. Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Add the carrot sticks and cook only until tender but still slightly crisp.
  8. Shortly before serving, return the sautéed bell peppers and the Wagyu ribeye bouchées to the pot. Warm everything gently and briefly; do not simmer longer so the Wagyu stays tender and juicy.
  9. Serve with Knöpfli and red cabbage.
