Wagyu Steak

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Bring the Wagyu beef steak to room temperature by letting it sit out for about 30-60 minutes.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

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

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Once the oil is shimmering, add the steak to the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on thickness.

  5. 5

    Add Aromatics

    During the last minute of cooking, add smashed garlic and rosemary to the pan, basting the steak with the infused oil.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.
