Description

Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef is rich, buttery, and surprisingly easy to cook at home. With a hot pan, simple seasoning, and quick cooking, you can enjoy a tender, steakhouse-quality dinner without overcomplicating the process.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 portion Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef steak
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, optional


Instructions

  1. Remove the Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. Pat the steak dry on all sides with paper towels.
  3. Season both sides lightly with kosher salt. Add a little black pepper if desired.
  4. Heat a heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat until it is fully hot.
  5. Place the Wagyu in the dry pan.
  6. For a thin steak, sear the first side for about 45 seconds. Flip and cook the second side for about 30 seconds for rare.
  7. For a thicker steak, sear for about 1 minute per side.
  8. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.
  9. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Use a cast iron or heavy stainless steel skillet for the best sear. Do not over-season and let the beef shine. Rare to medium-rare is ideal. Keep portions modest since the beef is very rich. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently in a skillet.
