DA Ribeye Katsu Sandos

Do I have your attention?  I bet that I do.

Saw a variation of these on one of the sous-vide groups I follow.  They’re usually made with wagyu, but I had some ribeyes I had dry-aged for 56 days that I thought would be interesting to try for this.  And instead of sous-vide, I smoked them on the BGE.

Here are a few of the ribeyes.  I hit them with a light dusting of S&P, then smoked them with post oak until they were at 130 IT:




Next came the bread.  I toasted some high-quality white bread and then slapped on a layer of gochujang mayo:





One of the ribeyes off the BGE, trimmed up a little.



These were dredged in flour, then egg wash, and finally panko.  Fried up in a shallow oil bath for maybe a minute plus per side:



Assembled into sandwiches and then sliced into bite-size pieces:



These were really good.  Very tasty. The toast alone with the spicy mayo is pretty awesome. I’d love to try these with a standard ribeye or wagyu to see the difference.  Thanks for looking!

    Looks like the bread he bought at the supermarket was proofed about right.

    Aside from that ;-), that looks fantastic.  I've got to give it a try.  First, I need to find a good looking calf to start with.

    My goodness.  That’s a whole new way to put together two of my favorite things - dry aged beef and really good bread. Thanks for showing us the way.

    If you do them with wagyu you should also make some little boxes to serve them in just like the Don Wagyu sandwich shop in NYC does for their $180 sandwich...

    The most impressive thing to me is the wall to wall color of the beef! Done SV, meh, even I can do that. Done on the egg though, my compliments! Did you cook at a low temp and flip often?

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I cooked them indirect at around 250F.  Only flipped once.  These were pretty thick - about an inch and a half, so that probably helped.

    It’s easy to make.  Just equal portions gochujang and Duke’s mayo.  Very tasty on its own!
