COOKING YOUR WAGYU

                                      

Wagyu is actually one of the easiest steaks to cook be cause it's high fat marbling makes it harder to dry out. A wagyu steak cooked slightly more than you would normally have steak will not have a greatly different flavour or texture.

​

So don't be scared! We have given you a small piece of wagyu fat with your steak. Heat up your pan or BBQ to a medium-high heat and cook the fat until it is crispy. This has become a natural oil for your wagyu and prevents flavour contamination from other cooking oils. 

​

Season your steak with salt and pepper then give your wagyu a really good sear on both sides and around the edges and cook to your liking (approximately 4 minutes on each side). The best way to get your steak perfect is to use a meat thermometer. For medium rare, you should remove the steak from the pan at about 57-58 degrees Celcius and rest for 10-15 minutes.

SO WHY WAGYU??

​

Wagyu breeds of cattle have natural genetic traits which result in the marbling of fat within muscles instead of just the fat cap surrounding them. 

 

The intra-muscular marbling is made up of a high concentration of monosaturated fats (the good fats) and is high is omega-3 and omega-6.

​

This means that wagyu is not only delicious but good for you!

​

It is this high marbling that makes wagyu so tender and results in a very low melting point which means wagyu literally melts in your mouth!

​

​

​

WHAT IS TARE?

​

Tare in Japanese literally translates as "dipping sauce". It is the perfect balance of sweet, salty and umami that makes this sauce perfect for any Japanese inspired dish.

 

A mix of soy sauce, mirin, sake, garlic, ginger, shallots, vinegar and brown sugar is simmered and reduced by over half resulting in a powerful sauce that goes a long way!
