HOW TO PAN SEAR JAPANESE A5 WAGYU STEAK AT HOME

Serves 2 | Prep time 5 mins | Cooking time 5 mins

Ingredients:

  • 1 piece A5 Japanese wagyu ribeye or striploin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

01

Remove steak from the fridge and pat dry thoroughly. This will allow the steak to build a better crust.

02

Trim a small piece of excess fat off the steak and set aside.

03

Lightly season steak with salt and pepper on both sides.

04

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan thoroughly on medium high heat till very hot. Melt the piece of trimmed fat on the pan.

05

Add the steak to the hot pan. For a thin cut steak (approx 1 cm), sear on one side for 30-45 seconds, flip, and sear for another 30 seconds on the other side. Cook for longer if it’s a thick cut steak. Do not overcook the steak as the fat has an extremely low melting point.

06

Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes prior to slicing.

07

Serve with sea salt flakes, soy sauce and/or wasabi.
