Rare Breed, Rare Meat
How to Cook Wagyu
Wagyu is a breed of cattle naturally predisposed to produce beef that is densely marbled. In fact, Wagyu Beef surpasses USDA marbling standards for prime-grade beef. Often referred to as the “foie gras of beef,” Wagyu has an exquisitely tender texture and incomparable, luxurious taste.
High Heat is Key
Cook it Fast & Hot
The best way to prepare Wagyu Beef is to cook it fast over a hot flame. The fat in Wagyu Beef melts at a lower temperature than regular beef.
Sear in the moisture and flavor and don’t overcook it. If you over cook it, you risk having melt all the fat away. The fat is essential in providing Wagyu the flavor and moisture for which it is famous.
Quickly searing it over a hot fire, or in a cast iron, reduces the shrinkage and keeps in the flavor. “Well Done” should not be an option for this great meat.
