Wagyu-Wrapped Rice Ball
Maki-onigiriThe chic version of onigiri: wrapped in a sheet of Wagyu.
00:00The secret lies in three principles: the right temperature, timing, and resting.
00:35Prepare each element cold. The meat comes out of the fridge thirty minutes before.
01:15The heat must be controlled. Never rush the cooking.
01:50The plate is constructed like a composition. Every color, every texture has its place.
02:20Wagyu is ready when its sheen disappears under a light crust.
02:55Serve immediately. The meat should never wait.

Instructions
-
01
Take the Wagyu fillets out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking so they reach room temperature.
-
02
Pat the fillets dry with paper towels: a perfectly dry surface is essential for a beautiful crust.

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.

Remove the fillets from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes on a warm plate — this step is crucial.
