Step 1: Prepare the Wagyu Beef

The delicate slices of Wagyu beef are the star of this dish.

Step 3: Garnish with Capers

Capers add a tangy contrast to the creamy beef.

  • Method: Scatter capers evenly across the plate, ensuring a balanced visual presentation and flavor distribution.


Step 4: Drizzle with Dressing and Finish

The dressing ties everything together.
