Japanese A5 Wagyu is as much an experience as it is a meal.
To prepare this luxurious ingredient, first let the meat rest and come to room temperature before cooking.
Lightly season with salt to bring out the natural umami flavor, or dip each bite in a fine sea salt of your choice as you eat.
Heat a smooth-surfaced pan, such as stainless steel, over medium-high heat.
Slice the A5 Wagyu thin, into bite-size pieces. Place each piece in the pan without any oil. A5 Wagyu has enough fat to cook directly on a bare pan. Sear about 1 minute per side and remove. We recommend cooking the pieces one at a time to share the experience with others.
To elevate the experience, try a variety of fine sea salts, a good soy sauce or some wasabi. For a decadent bite, pair A5 Wagyu with a piece of raw uni or fine caviar.
