Frequently asked questions
What is Wagyu beef, and how is it different from regular beef?
Wagyu beef comes from a specific breed of cattle originally from Japan, known for its exceptional marbling, tenderness, and rich, buttery flavor. Unlike regular beef, Wagyu has a higher fat content, which melts into the meat as it cooks, delivering a juicy, melt-in-your-mouth experience. Our cattle are an American style Wagyu that is an F1 cross with an Angus base cow herd.
Is your Wagyu beef certified?
Yes, all of our Wagyu beef is USDA Certified and processed and handled through a USDA Certified facility. We provide clear labeling on our products, including details about their origin and grading.
How do I store Wagyu beef?
For optimal freshness, keep your Wagyu beef refrigerated at 32-36°F (0-2°C) and consume it within 3-5 days of delivery. If you’re not planning to use it immediately, we recommend freezing it at 0°F (-18°C). Properly sealed, frozen Wagyu can last up to 12 months without losing its quality.
How should I cook Wagyu beef?
Due to its high fat content, Wagyu beef is best cooked at lower temperatures to prevent overcooking. We recommend:
- Steak: Sear over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, allowing the fat to render and caramelize.
- Ground Wagyu: Cook over medium heat until just browned, avoiding overcooking to retain its juiciness.
- Roasts: Slow-cook or sous-vide for a tender, flavorful result.
