MB 4–5+ Marbling: Balanced Indulgence
Wagyu is prized for its marbling, and MB 4–5+ represents a perfectly balanced level. At this score, fine fat threads run through the muscle, ensuring juiciness while keeping the overall character strong and beefy.
-
Juicy and Tender: Fat melts during cooking, creating moisture and tenderness.
-
Flavour Without Excess: Richness is present but not overwhelming, making it ideal for regular enjoyment.
-
Reliable Cooking: The fat structure ensures consistent results across grilling, roasting, or pan-searing.
-
Everyday Luxury: Premium Wagyu quality that is still accessible for weeknight dinners as well as special occasions.
Flavour & Texture Profile
The Shimo Wagyu Porterhouse MB 4–5+ offers a unique eating experience by combining two prized cuts in one steak. On one side, the striploin delivers bold, beefy flavour with a firmer bite that satisfies those who enjoy a strong steak character.
On the other hand, the tenderloin provides a delicate, fine-grained texture that feels almost buttery and refined. Together, they create a perfect balance of richness and tenderness in every mouthful.
The bone enhances the cooking process by intensifying flavour and locking in juiciness, giving the porterhouse an added depth that makes it a true centrepiece cut.
Cooking & Serving Suggestions
The Shimo Wagyu Porterhouse MB 4–5+ is versatile and performs beautifully across cooking styles.
-
Grilling: Season with salt and pepper, sear over high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, then finish over indirect heat to medium-rare.
-
Pan-Searing: Use a cast-iron skillet. Add butter, garlic, and rosemary during the final minutes to baste for extra flavour.
-
Sous‑Vide + Sear: Cook at 54 °C for 1–2 hours for evenness, then finish with a high‑heat sear to achieve caramelisation and edge‑to‑edge perfection.

Reverse Sear: Cook slowly in the oven at 110–120 °C until it reaches 50 °C internally, then sear on a hot grill or pan for crust.
-
Resting: Let the steak rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.
