How do you cook Kobe Beef?

If you try to treat Kobe Beef as if you were cooking regular beef, you will be sorry you did, looking down at your plate wondering, "I spent extra on this?" Don't do that. Think about quick-sear cooking techniques for things like rare tuna and foie gras, not about cooking steak. If you do it right, you may just acquire an addiction for life. ;)

Open flames, preheated cast iron and Wagyu beef are friends. Good friends. A quick sear of thin pieces in a very hot flame works wonders, and if you're lucky enough to have a thick steak, you want it absolutely seared and crispy on the outside and raw and quivering on the inside, even if you don't normally eat your steak this way.

You can use an intensely preheated cast iron pan or grill to achieve this effect, but you cannot allow the steak to remain in contact with heat for long enough to melt all the fat and cause it to drip out of the internal structures of the meat, or you will end up with boringly dry, expensive meat.

Wagyu is a fragile creature under heat. Treat it delicately and with the utmost care, and it will reward you with velvety perfection. Another good analogy to cooking Wagyu is that of a baked Alaska - you need to sear the outside, but if you let it sit under the heat too long, it will melt the ice cream inside, and you will have an unappetizing mess. The physical structure of Wagyu beef is not unlike ice cream in that it can literally melt and change into something very different from its ideal form.

Tips for getting the most out of your Kobe Beef!

• Defrost the steaks in the refrigerator
• Remove from cryovac bag
• Allow steak to reach room temperature before cooking ~ 20 minutes
• DO NOT take steak directly from refrigerator and begin cooking!
• Season with sea salt and fresh ground pepper
• Place on hot grill and make grill "marks"
• After grilling marks, place steak on upper rack and turn 3 to 4 times during grilling process ~ 5 minutes for each side
• With meat thermometer take internal temperature of steak to 130 degree or medium rare
• Remove from grill and allow the steak to "rest" for 5 to 7 minutes
• Slice, Serve, Eat and Enjoy!!!!!!
