It's hard to resist the seductive combination of American Wagyu beef, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. We used this savory marriage of Asian flavors to create a satisfying Teriyaki beef salad using our American Wagyu steak cuts. This is a simple recipe, but you'll fine tune your knife skills prepping the vegetables. Once the beef is skewered and grilled, it's fun to assemble all the ingredients for a colorful, crunchy meal that is both refreshing and satisfying.
