A perfect sear on the outside and the fat melts like butter, nothing beats a Wagyu ribeye! A Wagyu ribeye is not your run-of-the-mill steak. Wagyu beef is considered a premium meat and it makes for some of the best steaks due to its high levels of marbling. In fact, true Wagyu cattle have the highest levels of marbling of any cattle in the world! The marbling present in your cut of steak directly correlates with how tender and juicy it will be because the fat melts down as it cooks. That’s why it is highly recommended to serve a Wagyu steak cooked to medium-rare, just when the fat has melted throughout the steak. Jump to:

This is a good habit to make when cooking steak in general because a cold steak will affect how evenly it cooks. After that, it will go quickly as this steak should be perfectly medium-rare in about 6-8 minutes.

🥡 Storing & ReheatingIn the off chance you have steak left over, you can keep it refrigerated in a shallow air-tight container, or wrapped tightly in foil, for about 3 days! Make sure your steak is cooled before putting it into a container. If you're trying to extend the shelf-life of your left over steak, it can be frozen! Tightly wrap each individual steak with plastic wrap. Then, place it in a heavy-duty freezer bag or wrap it tightly with heavy-duty foil. Your steaks will keep frozen for about 3 months. Make sure to label them with the date! Reheating Wagyu Ribeye SteakI've found the best way to reheat steak is right in the oven! Preheat your oven to 250℉ (121℃). Place your steak on a baking sheet with a cooling rack if you have one. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until your steak reaches your desired temperature. 🥩 Side Dishes For Steak
❓ FAQWhat makes it "Wagyu" beef? The term "Wagyu" actually refers to a specific breed of cattle from Japan with particular genetic attributes that make for tender, fatty meat. In fact, the word "Wagyu" (pronounced 'wag-you') translates into "Japanese cow". Wagyu farmers have since popped up in different countries around the world. The high amounts of intra-muscular fat and the finer texture of the meat is what makes these cattle so desirable. Why is it important to tent a steak? "Tenting" a steak just means to make a small tent out of foil and loosely cover your steak while it rests. While resting, your steak reabsorbs some of its juices. Tenting is important because it helps your steak retain that perfect golden-brown sear without getting soggy. Can I use salt in pepper in place of steak seasoning? You can! The steak seasoning is going to have more distinct flavor, but a Wagyu steak is flavorful on its own. If you prefer to season your steaks with just a bit of salt and pepper so you can really enjoy the flavor of the meat, go right ahead! The cooking method will remain exactly the same.

Is it better to grill or pan fry Wagyu?Some would argue that the grill is the best method for cooking Wagyu. Especially if it's a charcoal grill, it gives the meat a wonderful smoky flavor you can't achieve indoors. And as long as you keep an eye on the steak and check the temperature regularly, you're likely to get a tender, evenly cooked cut of meat.
Do you cook Wagyu with butter or oil?Cooking Wagyu Beef in Oil
Good options include olive oil and vegetable oil, both of which are quite mild in flavor. Butter is another great option since it complements the beef's natural rich, buttery flavor.
How is Wagyu usually cooked?Salt, heat and wagyu fat equals crispy and delicious
Sear your Wagyu in a pre-heated pan for 1.5-2 minutes on each surface, before moving to a moderate heat to finish cooking. If you're cooking steak, this means turning down the heat. If you're roasting, this means put the Wagyu in the oven.
How to pan fry Wagyu steak?Preheat your cast-iron skillet over high heat. Grease the pan lightly with butter, olive oil, or the pro move of using some of the fat cut from the edges of your Wagyu steak. For a rare finish, sear for three minutes per side. For a medium-rare sear, aim for four minutes per side.
