4oz A5 Wagyu Striploin Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Preparation

   Remove the A5 Wagyu Striploin from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This allows for even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Season both sides of the Wagyu Striploin with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Add the Wagyu Striploin to the hot pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side until a deep brown crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Butter

   Flip the steak and add the butter to the pan. If using, add the fresh thyme as well. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning the melted butter over the steak to baste.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, look for 130°F (54°C).

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Serve

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