Wagyu Beef

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Remove the Wagyu steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steaks

    Generously season both sides of the Wagyu steaks with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a heavy skillet or cast iron pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Sear the Steaks

    Add the Wagyu steaks to the hot pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on thickness.

  3. 5

    Add Aromatics

    During the last minute of cooking, add crushed garlic cloves and fresh herbs to the pan for flavor.

  4. 6

    Rest the Steaks

    Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
