What's cooking?

Christmas in July at work , Wagyu sirloin on the menu

 

Don't know what Wagyu is but those are more marbled than most of the sirloins I've come across. how will they be prepared?

 

Mike wa gyu is japanese beef ( wa = japanese gyu= beef) it is known for its nice marbling , although this one was only average since it was for a banquets . Australia is one of the biggest Wagyu exporter and we are lucky here we get to have purebred staff for reasonable cost . This one was the first breed of full blood and half full half black Angus mix
These steaks were left in room temperature for 2 hours , seasoned with just Himalayan pink salt and grilled to medium rare

 

They look like they make some great tender steaks. I'm now going to have to research Himalayan pink salt! Thanks Mert

 

This is the first time I've heard anyone use words like "reasonable cost" in the context of Wagyu. Presumably being in Australia, where so much is raised, and being able to buy wholesale, helps. (At perhaps the other end of the spectrum, Lobel's in NY sells a 16 oz. dry aged sirloin for $60.

 

I'll take 2! medium rare.

 

This stuff was $22 per lbs and it is not the top of the range , in the past I have used purebred stuff from Peter Blackmore ( well known breeder ) up to $58 per pound. That stuff usually goes straight to japan

 

Does this count?
Maybe not but it looks good.

 

Come on @Toothpick I think you have a culinary trick or two up your sleeve...

 

Don't you be startin' no rumors.

 

Just sayin' I follow the breakfast thread.....

 

I have no clear memory of that.
Probably the roommate's cooking

 

Riiiight.... Sorry for the confusion.....

 

Mert, what suji is it? Is that your line knife?

 

Yoshikane skd 270, a little too long for my line preferences , can't live without it for slicing and craving

 

looks nice, is it aa5 wagyu?

 

Yes

 

DAMN!!! Mert some beautiful steaks. Figures.... Brad would ask what knife that is.

 

Ive cooked so many damn steaks in my life it just doesnt impress me like the first time anymore! But they do look super good.

 

Full size pg this time....125lbs. Plus a few sides. My daughter was taking photos, so the perspective is a little low
