Introduction
This is the ultimate way to grill shiitake mushrooms, recreating the hugely popular menu item served at 'WAGYUMAFIA,' founded by Takafumi Horie. By using rich 'beef tallow' instead of vegetable oil to soak into the mushrooms, and seasoning simply with Ajinomoto's 'Ajishio' (seasoned salt), you achieve a juicy, intense umami flavor that fills your mouth.
Step 1
Trim the stems off the shiitake. Remove the hard woody tip of the base, and either tear or cut the stems into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Place the beef tallow (10g) in a frying pan and heat until completely melted.
Step 3
Place the shiitake in the pan gill-side down (cap side up) and cook while letting them absorb the melted beef tallow. Add the cut stems into the empty spaces in the pan to cook along with them.
Step 4
Flip the shiitake over so the gill-side is facing up. Cook slowly until moisture begins to bead up on the surface and the mushrooms become tender.
Step 5
To finish, sprinkle an appropriate amount of Ajishio on both the cap side and the gill side of the shiitake and serve.

Important Notes
Using 'beef tallow' instead of vegetable oil for its rich flavor and depth is the key to this recipe's deliciousness. 🔥
After flipping the shiitake, avoid touching them; let them cook until the moisture (the 'sweat') beads up on the surface for a perfectly juicy result. 💡
Using only Ajishio as a seasoning allows the sweetness of the beef tallow and the natural umami of the shiitake to shine through. ⚠️
