Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Remove the Kobe beef from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Generously season the beef with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat, around 500°F (260°C). If using a cast-iron skillet, heat it over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

  2. 4

    Cook the Beef

    Place the Kobe beef on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for your preferred doneness.

  3. 5

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps retain the juices.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Slice the Kobe beef against the grain and serve with grilled asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes if desired.
