For the last 5 years I have played around the edges of Wagyu steak.
It has taken a while to actually figure it out. First there was some
Wagyu Eye fillet about. Low score, maybe 3+. The low fat content of
the Eye Fillet meant that the Wagyu fat effect was not that much.
But it was good quality. The local steak houses had Wagyu rump and I
tried this. Again, Rump is low in fat so not much of an effect. At a
top restaurant I had cubes of imported 8+ Kobi Wagyu eye fillet (80g) at a
ridiculous price. Good. But not the real effect.
Then I lashed out $99 a kilo for 7+ Rib Fillets. 300g each steak. Certainly got the full effect here. Good for the first100g or so, Hard to eat the rest but I did. I was overwhelmed by the taste and texture of beef fat. Not that pleasant. Then the indigestion later that night was as bad as I have ever had. Not good. Too much beef fat.
Then I got some 8+ Sirlion thinnly sliced at $139 a kilo. (10mm thick and 100g each). This worked and worked well. The taste was great, the texture was fantastic and 100g is enough and affordable. The amount of beef fat you are consuming makes up the calorie count. This is the easiest steak to cook. Foolproof perfection
Ingredients
2 x 100g Thinnly sliced Sirloin Steak
Cracked Black pepper
Salted Butter
Does not require condiments or a sauce of any type.
Who ever thought we would be paying $169 a kilo for meat from Woolworths. But here we are. It is Australian produce. It seems that the Wagyu beef industry in Australia is really maturing quite fast.
Method::
Season the steaks with cracked pepper
Heat a stainless steel frypan to medium heat.
Melt 2 Tbs salted butter and add the steaks. Cook 30 - 40 seconds and turn. Cook another 30 - 40 secs and set aside to rest for just a few minutes.
How easy is that.
