Nordic Catch Grade A5 Japanese Wagyu Steak Without Bone, Always Fresh Thick Cut, Skin-Packed 100% Authentic A5 Wagyu Steak from Kagoshima Reserve - Great Gift

The best steak I've ever had. Yes it's expensive but I heard about and had to try it. Glad I did

Obviously a very expensive price of meat. Can definitely be made for sharing up to 4 people on just one of these steaks. I bought it to use as an appetizer treat by cutting into strips after being cooked on med-high heat salted on both sides in my hexclad pan cooking three minutes on both sides. Let steak rest on a pre-warmed plate for 3min. Added a little cracked black pepper, cut it into thin strips for each person to try. Each of the 4 people got 8 strips from the steak. I pasteurized some fresh eggs in my sous vide water cooker for one hour and 30 minutes 135 degrees. Cracked them open and Seperated the egg yolk from the white, putting the perfectly silky and runny egg yolk in a small finger bowl to dip the strips of beef in as desired. The beef was rich in flavor, with a buttery texture. Dipping the strips into the runny egg yolk, added a pleasant silky texture to the meat. I ate 4 of my strips straight with just seasoned with coarse salt and cracked blk pepper to get the full effect of the rich beef taste kobe provides. I dipped the other 4 strips in my running egg yolk - WHICH was perfectly safe to eat because while cooking in the sous vide water bath, pasteurized the eggs making them safe to consume in a raw like state. The egg yolk added a nice creaminess to the already soft and buttery texture of the meat making it rich and decadent and complimented the kobes strong beef flavor. It was a real treat! I bought American wagu from Australia at $16/LB for the main steak course. Wasn't marbled to anywhere the extent of the kobe from Japan but, still had a nice flavor and texture. We served the American wagu first and served the Japanese kobe as an after dinner appetizer for a finisher. If you feed the people the Japanese kobe first as an appetizer, it will ruin the enjoyment of lesser cost of the American wagu

A third was completely inedible. Just a huge block of fat through and through.

Was exactly as described. Delicious. I'm not sure it's worth the cost - but it was good.

Very tender melts in your mouth like butter reminds me of bacon on taste great quality and gift

This is a good steak, literally melt in your mouth and thats really it. I think personally it's not all it's hyped up to be it seems, unless my taste buds are just terrible, flavor wasnt really there for me but aside from that, it was good.

This steak was excellent. Absolutely the best steak I have had. At $200+ per pound for me it is likely to be a once in a lifetime treat.

Because of weather it took 2 days for the steak to arrive. It was packaged in a large box with insulation all around and multiple ice packs. The extra day didn’t affect the steak, it was perfect.
