Some of you have seen Wagyu beef sold at Costco. You get excited for a second until you see the price; $99 a pound. Then you walk around the store as you think if you are getting a significant amount back in reward points. At this point, I decided to grab two steaks. Picking the steaks took about 10 minutes. The decision on the final selection was about which pieces contained a good level of fat but not too much. There were many pieces that looked like a solid piece of fat.<\/span><\/p>\n

To give this $99 piece of meat the respect it deserves, I put it in the fridge to properly defrost as I thought of a gameplan on how to cook it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I concluded that I wanted some kind of fried rice along with some greens and maybe mushrooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The fried rice is pretty standard. The Wagyu is today’s highlight. To cook the Wagyu I took the following steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take the wagyu out of the fridge about 5 minutes before cooking.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Heat the skillet to high heat.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Use some of the fat trimmings to oil the pan\/skillet.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Once some of the fat has rendered, place the steak on.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Cook for 2.5 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Season with salt and pepper.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Flip.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Cook for 2.5 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Season with salt and pepper.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Remove from heat.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This brought the meat to a nice medium-rare. Cutting was easy and eating was more of a delight. The meat did not melt in your mouth but it was pretty close. It had a sashimi fish texture.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Maybe I’ll try to sushi the next batch. Stay tuned.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
