Wagyu Ribeye Steak Recipe
We get it; cooking Wagyu steak is usually a special occasion thing. After all, this meat doesn't come at an everyday price.
There's a reason it's so indulgent and, well, pricey. In short, it's a high-quality meat that is raised with care and more tender than just about any other steak you'll try. It's a high-end product that you can't find just anywhere. It's a special occasion steak, and deserves to be cooked with care.
Frontière Natural Meats offers a variety of wagyu products, including Wagyu Ribeye, Wagyu Strip Loin, and Ground Wagyu. These products are all considered high-end and top-quality.
So, how do you cook Wagyu steak at home without messing it up? Here are a few tips:
- Go easy on the heat. Aim for a nice sear while letting the steak cook through so the fat gets rendered throughout.
- Don't over salt. A restrained sprinkle is all you need, if any.
- Butter is optional. We use it in our recipe as an enhancement, but Wagyu is so fatty that you really don't need it.
- You can split one 8 oz steak between two people. Wagyu is so indulgent that you might find 4 ounces to be totally satisfying. Consider sharing one steak between two people to make your investment go further.
