Team wagyu,

Took a few slices off this:


Cooked half as small "steaks" and half Japanese teppanyaki style cutting into pieces as sides sear. If you google cooking wagyu steak you'll find a lot of videos of Japanese cooks doing that on a big flat grill top.

With some sushi rice and sautéed green onions, a ginger citrus soy and rice wine vinegar dipping sauce, and some wasabi.

Moment of truth!

Man this stuff is good! That's prob between 6-8oz of meat on the plate, and that feels like a hearty serving of this beef.

The bigger piece was about medium rare, the smaller pieces closer to medium. Both were great, but I def preferred the smaller pieces. And the beef is so rich, dipping in some sauce and/or eating with some rice made it even better.

Thanks for getting this started, rep!

I know you were worried about overcooking, and I meant to mention that if you're doing a simple pan reverse sear, a great instant read thermometer like a Thermapen will let you pull your steaks off the first cook at 115. With a 10 minute rest after, you can be somewhat aggressive in your sear (up to 90 seconds total or so) without worrying too much about gray band or overcooking.

Still, I'd happily destroy what you posted here.

I'd normally just say how delicious this looks without quoting, but I think everyone deserves to see these pics at least once more. Elite effort once again El D.

Gobbo said it perfectly that this is the poker boom of steaks.

I also wonder--is there a better repository of steak knowledge on the internet today than here? This thread is clearly at the very least in the top tenth of a percent of what's our there, but if anyone else finds consistent elite steaking posts anywhere else, please share a link.

How can this thread be topped? It's basically endless steak porn with the occasional comic interlude provided by a deansteak knockoff or some guy grunching and telling us to lock in the juices

Hmm...Apparently /somebody/ overshares a bit in the steak thread when they've been drinking heavily

Anyhow, wagyu got uniformly rave reviews from everybody at the party. Thx for the hook-up rep!

Also, @devil. We did some with wasabi too. What did you think? Too overpowering imo.

Nit: welcome to Team Pan! That looked great. Just play around with times and burner temps a little to fine tune the perfect doneness for you.

Dw: I think one of the reasons (at least the one I noticed in my cooking) for that cooking technique is it makes it easier to get a uniform doneness on all the sections of the piece with different shapes and thicknesses. Have fun in Japan!

Foo,

I thought a small dot of wasabi went well. I'm guessing you weren't in the best state for precision saucing last night though.

Turned these ingredients:


Into this today:


Was inspired by seeing what the Japanese teppanyaki chefs did with the extra fat and trimmings.
