Cooking and buying.

Grades, heat, and storage. The cuts these pages name are the ones on the shop. Shipping is calculated at checkout.

• What American Wagyu Is

  Gold, Kuro, and Platinum are the only Wagyu~X grades. What the marbling, BMS scores, and Japan equivalents mean.

• Reverse Sear a Wagyu Steak

  Low oven, then a hard sear in beef tallow. How we cook a Wagyu strip, ribeye, or filet to medium-rare.

• Grill Temperatures and Doneness

  Pull temperatures for Wagyu steaks, the USDA whole-cut minimum, and why ground beef is a different number.

• Cook a Wagyu Prime Rib

  Thaw, salt, and slow-roast the 3-bone prime rib, then brown the fat cap. A thermometer, not the clock.

• Thaw and Store Wagyu

  Refrigerator thawing, how long fresh beef keeps, and how to freeze vacuum-sealed Wagyu without drying it out.
