COOKING TIPS:
When cooking Wagyu there is
a five simple rules
that you need to follow to guarantee that perfect steak:
- Bring Wagyu out of fridge 20 minutes before cooking, this
allows the marbling to come to room temperature to ensure
even temperature throughout the meat when cooking
- Only season your meat just before you cook it, this will
prevent any moisture being drawn out
- Always pre-heat BBQ or griddle plate before cooking; doing
this will stop the meat from boiling and becoming tough.
When you place your steak in the pan you want to seal in
the juices immediately
- Only turn your steak once, continually turning will cause
moisture to be lost and only damage the end product
- Once your steak has been cooked to your required doneness
always rest the meat for around 3-5 minutes, depending on
size. Doing this will allow all the juices to be drawn back
into the meat and allow the muscle fibres to relax thus
creating a tender piece of meat
