Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Remove the Omi Wagyu beef from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

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

  3. 3

    Searing the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned Omi Wagyu steak to the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved.

  4. 4

    Basting the Steak

    In the last minute of cooking, add the butter, garlic cloves, and fresh thyme to the skillet. Use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the steak for added flavor.

  5. 5

    Resting

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve it immediately, optionally garnished with additional thyme.
