Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Take the A5 Wagyu beef out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    Preheat a skillet or grill pan over high heat. Once hot, sear the A5 Wagyu beef for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms. The internal temperature should be medium-rare (about 130°F or 54°C).

  3. 3

    Rest the Beef

    Remove the beef from heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

  4. 4

    Plate and Season

    Slice the rested beef against the grain and arrange it on a serving plate. Drizzle the smoked ponzu sauce over the beef and sprinkle with lava salt to taste.
