Slice the wagyu beef into strips.

Chop up a blade steak and marinate it with 1/2 cup of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, 1 tsp of black pepper, 2 tbsp of minced garlic, 1/2 tbsp of minced ginger, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

Add a sprinkle of green onions to the marinade and mix well.

Let the beef marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.

Prepare sides: use prepackaged kimchi, slice jalapenos and radishes, and cook down bean sprouts in 1 tbsp of sesame oil.

Sear the marinated wagyu beef on the grill until cooked, about 4 pieces at a time to avoid overcooking.

Assemble the dish by placing the beef on a leaf of lettuce and adding pickled radish, bean sprouts, jalapeno, and kimchi.

Roll up the lettuce wrap and dip it into sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and chili pepper before taking a bite.

Taste the beef and note its tenderness and buttery flavor, comparing it to other steak cuts.

Adjust cooking method based on thickness of the beef slices, preferring thinner cuts for tenderness.
