We firmly believe that a good sandwich will go a long way, especially when you are having friends over. The pulled beef brisket pairs perfectly with the Asian-style miso slaw, making it a delicious meal for a lazy afternoon. This is one of those make-the-night-before-and-enjoy-the-next-day-type dishes.
Much like the champagne-versus-sparkling wine debate, beef can only be referred to as Kobe if it is from that particular region in Japan. If the species is bred anywhere else in the world, it’s referred to as Wagyu.
