Wagyu recipes

Delicious flavours from our kitchen

Grass-fed Wagyu has the tenderness and the succulence which characterises Wagyu beef. Our grass-fed beef also has the distinctive Wagyu flavour — described as sweet, delicate and nutty — without the extraordinary richness or overwhelmingly fatty mouth feel of grain-fed Wagyu beef.

Tips & Advice

Bring your Wagyu steaks to room temperature before searing, this allows the meat to cook more evenly and guarantees a tender, juicy steak.
