A5 Wagyu Beef

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Steak

    Remove the A5 Wagyu beef steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps in even cooking.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    Generously season both sides of the steak with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heating the Pan

    In a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  4. 4

    Cooking the Steak

    Carefully place the steak in the hot pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on your preferred doneness.

  5. 5

    Adding Herbs

    During the last minute of cooking, add the fresh herbs to the pan for flavor.

  6. 6

    Resting

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.

  7. 7

    Serving

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately, optionally with additional salt to taste.
