Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz thinly sliced Wagyu beef (ribeye or sirloin preferred)
  • 6 oz fresh lump crab meat, picked through for shells
  • 4 oz brie cheese, rind removed and sliced thinly
  • 9 slices hearty sourdough or artisan white bread, lightly toasted
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter
  • A handful fresh butter lettuce or romaine leaves
  • 1 large tomato, sliced thin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Optional: a few dashes hot sauce or a sprinkle of smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, gently toss lump crab meat with lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside for about 5 minutes.
  2. Pat Wagyu beef slices dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Working in batches, sear beef slices about 1 minute per side until browned but still juicy. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Spread softened butter on each bread slice. Toast in skillet or oven until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl, adjusting ratio to taste.
  6. Lay out three slices of toasted bread. Spread mayo-mustard mixture evenly on each slice.
  7. On the first slice, layer Wagyu beef, lettuce leaves, and tomato slices. Top with second slice of bread.
  8. On the second slice, add seasoned crab meat, more lettuce, and slices of brie cheese. Top with last slice of bread.
  9. Gently press sandwich down to compact layers. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut sandwich into halves or thirds.
  10. Serve immediately while beef is warm and brie slightly melted.

Notes

Do not overcook Wagyu beef to maintain juiciness. Toast bread well to prevent sogginess. Handle crab meat gently to avoid breaking it apart. Slice brie just before assembly for best texture. Sandwich is best served immediately but can be wrapped and refrigerated for up to 24 hours and reheated gently.
