Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wagyu Beef

    Take the Japanese Wagyu beef out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows it to reach room temperature for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Slice the Wagyu

    Using a sharp knife, slice the Wagyu beef into 1-inch thick steaks. This will help with quick cooking on the hot stone.

Prepare the Hot Stone

  1. 3

    Heat the Hot Stone

    Preheat a hot stone grill or a flat lava stone on a stovetop or grill until it reaches a temperature of around 500°F (260°C).

  2. 4

    Add Salts

    Once the stone is hot, sprinkle a thin layer of black lava salt on the surface to enhance the flavor of the meat.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the Wagyu

    Place the sliced Wagyu beef on the hot stone. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish. You can adjust the time based on your preferred doneness.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare for Serving

    Once the Wagyu is cooked to your liking, remove it from the stone and let it rest for a minute.

  2. 7

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the cooked Wagyu on a plate alongside small bowls of red Hawaiian and pink Himalayan salts. Optionally, garnish with fresh chives and microgreens for an elegant presentation.
