Attempt no2 with Wagyu. Served with steamed cauliflower and cheese melted over it.

Managed to get a rib-eye cut of Wagyu this time round. And I'm sold. This will be my treat from now on. I won't bother to order steak at a restaurant again.

Tried Wagyu a while ago and it was good. I like my meat medium-rare. Problem is (especially with ribeye) that you need to get the fat to a reasonable temperature or it will still be uncooked white gunk.

With a thick-cut steak this is almost impossible to get the fat to melt but the meat to remain medium-rare.

How did you prepare it? Sous Vide?

Where did you buy and what was your Rand / kg?

Oh and pictures of course!

Sorry no pictures this time round. Phone was on charge and camera is already packed for our camping trip next week.

I did simple pan fry with only salt and pepper. Medium rare of course.

First time we bought at Kings Meat Deli. They only had rump cuts. Was R325/kg.
Last night's piece was from Checkers. They had rump and rib-eye cuts. R279/kg.

Obviously not something I will do every week. Perhaps once a month as a treat.

For the cut you bought or per kg? If it's per kg it damn cheap
Price on Wagyu rump and ribeye should be upwards of R500/kg if it's got a marble score between 4 to 6. Closer to R700/kg with a score higher than 7.

If I have a thick cut with fat I usually render the fat first which usually does the trick.

Per/kg.

It is probably not the very best Wagyu out there but it is still 50 times better than any other steak.

The marbling is also not quite as prominent as the ones when you Google Wagyu but it is world's apart from any other ribeye steak I've ever seen.

And the taste and textures speaks for itself.

Pray Tell, which Checkers ?

I can confirm that Menlyn and Atterbury does not stock it.

We found a whole fridge full at Checkers Olympus Village.

Still have to check Moreleta.

Both Erasmuskloof and Lynnwood Bridge branches of Kings Meat Deli stocks it.

Dude you have got me thinking I must try this. Doubt the local checkers will have but worth a shot.

It is probably not for everyone.

For instance my wife doesn't like it that much. Best way she can describe it to me is that she finds it too creamy/fatty. More the texture than the taste that puts her off. I on the other hand love the melt-in-your-mouth texture. Which I also said in my very first Wagyu post was the biggest difference between that and other steak.

But again, after attempt 2 it certainly does have a unique taste to it as well. Probably because of all the fat content.

This is of course gold for somebody on a Keto diet. Perfect fat and protein ratio.

Was thinking the same thing. Fillet costs about that.
