Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the filet with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Add the filet to the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Flavor

    During the last minute of cooking, add the butter and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Use a spoon to baste the filet with the melted butter and rosemary.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the filet from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice and serve the American Wagyu filet with your favorite sides.
