Wagyu Beef
Chili Ponzu Sauce
Method
Preparing the Wagyu Beef
- 1
Season the Beef
Sprinkle the Wagyu beef steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- 2
Sear the Beef
In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned Wagyu beef steak. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak. Adjust the time to your preferred doneness.
- 3
Rest the Beef
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat for a more flavorful bite.
