How to Cook Wagyu Steak

Steps

1. 1How to Cook Wagyu Steak (Pan Sear, Hibachi, Flat Top)
2. 2Allow your steaks to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to cooking. This allows the meat to cook more evenly.
3. 3Season both sides of the Wagyu steak generously with salt and pepper (optional).
4. 4Preheat frying pan or cast iron pan over high heat until pan is hot. Test for sizzle with a drop of oil.
5. 5Carefully place the seasoned Wagyu steak in the pan. Sear the steak for 1-2 minutes on each side, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness and thickness of steak.
6. 6Remove the wagyu steak from the pan and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice wagyu steak and serve immediately. Enjoy!

8. 8Preheat a sous vide water bath to 125°F (51.5°C).
9. 9Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
10. 10Season the steak generously with salt and pepper.
11. 11If desired, lightly brush the steak with olive oil to enhance the crust formation.
12. 12Place the seasoned steak in a vacuum-sealed bag or a zip-top bag, ensuring it's sealed tightly to prevent any water from getting in.
