Steak – Cooking Sous Vide

[rotuts]

I don't wish to be argumentative

 

( just yet , maybe at 4:30 P  , the beginning time for Brain[sic]Boil )

 

I gather a major feature of Wagyu is its fat .

 

that's not to say rendering some of the fat  

 

might improve its edibility . but its all about the fat 

 

rendering some of it is  OK , as long as you lick the plate and pan.

 

( at those prices )

 

but Im w @weinoo

We didn't sous vide the wagyu at all. I'd seriously rather buy 3 aged steaks from Ends Meats than one wagyu.

 

I agree. Wagyu has nothing for me, its just fatty meat.

Years ago, some of us in NYC were fans of a restaurant called Beacon. It was really introduced to some of us by the late @Fat Guy - RIP. (see, his memory IS a blessing). He loved steak (well, he loved food) and Waldy Malouf, the chef at Beacon, was a big meat guy.  Here's a quote from one of FG's posts, after he'd been invited to visit DeBragga - purveyors of some of the finest beef money can buy, almost 15 years ago...

George was kind enough to send us away with a sample of Japanese Wagyu steak. I decided to bring the steak with us to lunch at Beacon and ask Waldy Malouf to prepare it as an hors d'oeuvre -- my first-ever BYO meat experience.

 

 

Waldy seasoned the steak and threw it on the grill for just a couple of minutes. He then sliced it and plated it up in several small portions.

 

 

The Wagyu was pretty fabulous, though given its street price (I think this was about a $100 steak) and preternatural fattiness (it's more like foie gras than steak) I think I'm happiest with normal American dry-aged beef at the Prime or high-Choice level.

 

 

As can be seen, that Wagyu (and it's unknown what grade or variety it was - there are many varieties and grades of wagyu), came out just great after a few minutes on the grill; no sous vide, no reverse sear, nothing but the grill.

 

Oh, and the whole post of @Fat Guy's - instructive about beef/steaks and DeBragga...
