7 tips for preparing Wagyu steaks
- Thaw the meat. Place the meat in the vacuum bag in the refrigerator one day before preparation. One hour before cooking, you can place the steak on your work surface.
- Preheat. Preheat your pan or grill thoroughly. For a nice crust, we recommend a plancha (instead of a grill rack). Oil or clarified butter is not needed, as enough fat will render out during searing.
- Grilling. For a nice crust, grill your steak as hot as possible, but for as short a time as possible. Turn the steak after 1-2 minutes.
- Indirect heat. As soon as the steak has reached the desired level of browning, remove it from the pan /grill. After a 2-3 minute resting period, place the steak back on the indirect heat setting.
- Core temperature. Cook the steak, turning it several times, until it reaches the desired core temperature. We recommend medium-rare (52-54°C).
- Meat thermometer. Tip : Use a good meat thermometer with a thin probe (1.5 mm) and a fast response time. This is the only way to ensure you achieve the perfect degree of doneness.
- Let it rest. After cooking, let the steak rest for another 2-3 minutes. Then season the steak with coarse salt flakes . A good steak needs nothing more!
