Best Cooking Methods
To highlight its marbling and unlock the best flavour, here are the top recommended cooking methods:
1. Pan-Seared Perfection – Restaurant Quality at Home
Heat a cast-iron pan until smoking hot and sear each side for 2–3 minutes to develop a rich, golden-brown crust. Then transfer the steak to a preheated oven to finish cooking to your preferred level of doneness.
After cooking, rest the steak for 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. This technique creates a flavourful sear while maintaining a juicy, tender centre with every bite.
2. Reverse Sear – Consistent Doneness, Crisp Finish
Slow-cook in the oven at low heat (90–110°C) until the internal temperature reaches 50–52°C, allowing the marbling to render gently.
Once the steak reaches temperature, finish it with a high-heat sear in a pan or over open flames. This method ensures a crisp outer crust, even doneness throughout, and rich, buttery fat that enhances every bite.
3. Charcoal Grilled – Smoky, Bold, and Irresistible
Grill over hot charcoal to develop bold, smoky notes that enhance the natural richness of wagyu beef. Begin by searing the steak directly over high heat to lock in flavour and create a caramelised crust.
Then move to indirect heat, allowing it to cook through gently and evenly. This method balances char and tenderness, making it a favourite for summer gatherings, backyard barbecues, or any occasion where bold flavour is a must.
