What do you do with Wagyu? While many people reserve this premium cut of beef for special occasions, you might be surprised to learn that it can easily be layered on toasty Heinen’s steak rolls with roasted peppers, crumbled goat cheese and Heinen’s premade pesto for a gourmet sandwich.
If you’re interested in giving this recipe a try, simply ask your local Heinen’s butcher to thin slice your desired amount of our Wagyu beef and you will be well on your way to redefining the traditional steak sandwich!
