How to cook wagyu beef?

The important thing to remember is that Wagu beef has sufficient fat within each steak and so just needs a the greasing of the pan. The addition of fats such as butter or olive oil will only mask the unique beefy flavour of your wagyu steak. Lightly salt the steak 5 minutes before cooking to bring out a film of moisture which helps in the creation of a savoury crust on the steak. Ideally use a cast iron skillet or griddle, get to a high heat and sprinkle with sea salt before adding the steak. Sear on each side for 2 minutes before lowering the heat and cooking to your liking. Allow to reast for at least 5 minutes on a warm plate.
