Classic Wagyu Beef Steak

Ingredients

  • Wagyu Steak Cut 1 Pc (200-250g)
  • Coarse Sea Salt / Kosher Salt Pinch
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper Pinch
  • Wagyu Fat Edge (Trimmed) 1 Piece
  • Garlic Clove (Optional) 1 Clove

Easy Cooking Steps

  1. Thaw & Temper (室温预热): Remove the vacuum-sealed Wagyu steak from the fridge 20–30 minutes before cooking. Let it adjust to room temperature for an even, tender sear.
  2. Prep the Pan (和牛油脂润锅): Heat a heavy skillet or stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. Trim a small piece of fat edge from your Wagyu and rub it across the hot pan to render natural Wagyu oil. No added cooking oil needed!
  3. Quick Sear & Season (高火快煎与调味): Place the steak in the pan. Sear for 60 to 90 seconds per side until a caramelized golden crust forms. Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper just before flipping or right after removing from heat.
  4. Rest & Enjoy (静置锁汁与切片): Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes so the juices redistribute. Slice into thin strips and enjoy melt-in-your-mouth perfection!
