1 TBSP Oregano

2 TSP Garlic (diced)

Note: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water overnight so they don’t burn on the grill.

Mix the marinade ingredients (red wine vinegar, fresh rosemary, coconut aminos, olive oil, oregano, garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper) in a bowl.

Then, pour the ingredients into a Ziploc bag. This is your marinade.

Cut the peppers, mushrooms, onions, and zucchini. Add them to the Ziploc bag.

Remove the beef, vegetables, and mushrooms from the marinade. Save the extra/leftover marinade for basting.

Thread the Fullblood Wagyu beef, peppers, and mushrooms onto your skewer, alternating between the ingredients.

Do not pack them on too tightly. This will allow your kabobs to cook evenly.

Grill the kabobs directly over the heat for 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with leftover marinade.

1 TBSP Honey

1 1/2 TBSP Butter Softened

2 TSP Salt

4 CUP All Purpose Flour

1 Egg (beaten)

1 TBSP Water (at room temperature)

PREPARING THE TELERA ROLLS

In a mixer bowl, combine the instant yeast and all purpose flour.

Then, add the 80-degree water, honey, softened butter, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough for 6 to 8 minutes at medium speed in a stand mixer.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1 hour until the size has doubled.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down.

Then, divide the dough into 3.5 oz portions, roll into balls, and cover.

Let the balls of dough rest for 5 minutes before shaping the dough pieces into football-shaped rolls (tapering the dough toward the edges of each roll).

The rolls should be 5 inches long and 2 inch wide at the center.

Place the rolls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, and cover with greased plastic wrap.

Allow the rolls to rise while turning the oven on and preheating it to 400°F.

Use one egg, beaten, and 1 tablespoon of water to create your egg wash.

When the rolls are almost doubled in size, brush the tops and sides with the egg wash.

Using a serrated knife, make two parallel slashes in the rolls.

Bake for 20 to 22 minutes at 400°F until the rolls are golden brown. The centers should read 190°F on a thermometer.

Remove the rolls from the oven, and cool completely.

Place the guajillo peppers in a bowl, and cover them with hot water to soften them (while the potatoes are cooking).

While the peppers are softening, cook the Fullblood Wagyu chorizo in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Use a wooden spoon to break up any large pieces of chorizo, and crumble.

Once the potatoes are cooked, add them to the skillet with the Fullblood Wagyu chorizo.

Keep cooking for 3 minutes (this is just enough time to allow the flavors to blend and the potatoes to get a little more tender). Set aside.

Place the guajillo peppers, 1 cup of water (that the peppers were previously soaking in), garlic cloves, Mexican oregano, and peppercorns into a blender.

Process the ingredients until you have a smooth sauce. This is your guajillo sauce.

Strain the sauce, and place in a bowl.

Heat a griddle, and add a 1/2 tablespoon of oil.

Slice the telera rolls that you prepared earlier.

Place the sliced rolls upside down on the griddle, and brush their tops all over with the guajillo sauce.

Flip the rolls so the tops get a little warm and crispy. Cook for a minute or two per side.

Repeat the process with the rest of the rolls, adding oil to the griddle as needed.

FINAL STEPS

To assemble the Pambazo Mexicano Fullblood Wagyu chorizo potato sandwiches, lightly coat the bread (toasted telera rolls) with sour cream.

Place some chorizo and potatoes on each toasted roll.

Top with the shredded lettuce, more sour cream, and crumble cotija cheese.

INGREDIENTS

1 LB Double 8 Cattle Company Fullblood Wagyu Ground Beef

1 1/2 CUP Cooked White Rice

1 Carrot (shredded)

1 HEAD Cabbage

1 Onion (diced)

4 Garlic Cloves (minced)

2 TBSP Tomato Paste

1/4 CUP White Wine

1 TBSP Paprika

1 TSP Oregano

1/4 CUP Parsley

1 TBSP Thyme (minced)

1 LB Crushed Tomatoes (divided)

2 TBSP Sour Cream

2 TBSP Olive Oil

Kosher Salt (to season)

Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to season)

PREPARING THE CABBAGE

Begin by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Remove the core from the cabbage head, and place the whole head in the water. Then, shut off the heat.

Let the cabbage sit for a half hour, and then remove it from the pot.

Gently pull apart the cabbage leaves one leaf at a time, while leaving them intact. Set the leaves aside, and let them cool to room temperature.

PREPARING THE FILLING

Place a large skillet over medium heat.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the diced onions to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes or until onions are translucent.

Add the minced garlic, thyme, paprika, shredded carrot, oregano, and tomato paste. Cook for an additional two minutes.

Deglaze with the white wine, and reduce to 1/4 of the amount of liquid.

Remove from the heat, and let it cool to room temperature. This is your onion mixture.

Place the Fullblood Wagyu ground beef and cooked rice together in a bowl.

Add the cooled onion mixture, parsley, sour cream, and 1/2 cup of the crushed tomatoes to the bowl.

Season heavily with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

FINAL STEPS

Preheat your oven to 375°F, and set out a casserole dish.

Lay a cabbage leaf flat, and spoon a 1/4 cup of the filling in the center.

Fold the edges in towards the center, and roll (wrapping the cabbage around itself).

Continue until all the cabbage leaves are filled and rolled.

Place the remaining crushed tomatoes in the bottom of the casserole dish. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Place the stuffed cabbage rolls on top of the crushed tomatoes.

Cover with foil, and bake in the oven at 375°F for 50 minutes.

Remove the foil, and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

Serve the cabbage rolls with sour cream and fresh parsley.

Enjoy!

Increase the heat to medium high, and add enough grapeseed oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

Once the pan is warm, add the Fullblood Wagyu beef shanks, and sear on both sides until caramelized (about 4-5 minutes on each side).

Once the beef is browned on both sides, deglaze the pan with the medium-bodied red wine.

Add the diced yellow onions, diced carrots, diced celery, and tomato paste.

Let the red wine reduce down, scraping up the bits on the bottom, and cooking the vegetables.

Once the red wine is reduced by half, add the minced garlic, peeled pearl onions, mushrooms, crispy bacon, beef stock, bouquet garni, 1 1/2 tablespoons of kosher salt, and 2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper.

Bring to a boil, cover, and place it in the preheated oven for 4 hours.

Season the sauce with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.

Return the Fullblood Wagyu beef and vegetables into the sauce, and coat them.

Serve the bouef bourguignon with potatoes, rice, or pasta.
