Cooking & Serving
Cooking Methods: Pan-Sear, Pan-Roast, Grill, Broil, Sous Vide
Whatever you do, never overcook this Wagyu beef. Keep it rare, or you lose too much of the precious fat.
Before cooking, allow the steak to come to room temperature, causing the fine network of fat to warm up. You will be searing it for such a short time that some of the fat might still be cold if you do not take this step.
Cooking
Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill to the highest possible level. The hottest you have ever heated a skillet would be almost hot enough. Season the steak simply with salt and pepper, in order to allow the extraordinary flavor to shine. Sear the Wagyu for a very short time on each side. Keep in mind that you can lose 20% of the weight while searing, much like foie gras.
Let it rest a moment (it’s still virtually raw inside, so not too long).
You could also char the exterior of the beef with a torch, leaving the inside rare.
Many chefs cut A5 Wagyu into carpaccio and serve it raw. For the beef to be cut wafer-thin requires that it be very cold before you slice it. Chefs often freeze it for a short time to ensure the desired carpaccio thinness.
Storing
Store the steaks in the freezer; because there is so much fat, Wagyu freezes nicely.
Cooking Tips for Lobster
Methods: Pan-Sear, Pan-Roast, Grill, Broil, Sous Vide
Half lobster can be steamed, boiled, grilled, baked, or broiled. We enjoy the simplicity of broiling them. Season the meat with melted butter, paprika, salt, and white pepper. Broil lobsters cut side up until lightly browned and lobster meat is opaque about 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with drawn butter for dipping the sweet meat.
