to very high heat. Remove meat from grill and allow to cool at least 20
minutes before serving. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days if desired,
then bring out 1 hour before serving to remove chill. Slice meat
paper-thin and arrange on platter with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi
mixed with water. Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #838 by valerie@nbnet.nb.ca
