Sup today is my 32nd birthday, so I figured I would treat myself. I went and bought 2Lbs of wagyu beef
9/10 would grind up into burgers
>>7315405
how much did that cost and where do you live? were there cuts with better marbling or was that your only choice?
What's that a NY strip? What's that cost?
>you know it's done when it sticks to the wall
>>7315405
happy birthday!!!! grill that bad boy up and post results!!!
>>7315416
$100USD
It looks much better once you slice it
>>7315422
that does look quite nice. how are you going to prepare it?
While the pan is heating, I'm preparing a dipping sauce made from this
it would be damn good for korean bbq, but it would probably be a waste to cook it heavily and cover it in sauce, just like a wagyu beef burger
>>7315422
Now why would you go fuck up a perfectly good steak ? Gonna cook it well done next? Is this a troll thread?
>>7315425
I have a mini cast iron pan that's heating up. I'm simply going to give each piece a light coating in oil, and a touch of fresh cracked black pepper and Himalayan pink salt. sear each side for ~10 seconds.
>>7315433
It's far from Fucked up, friend
>>7315433
Are you retarded?
>>7315405
where did you buy it from?
Good Lord.... This is delicious
>>7315453

>>7315459
that looks magnificent
i hope you have somebody to share that with, opie
>>7315466
No, my faggot wife is a vegan. So this is all for me.
>>7315433
>hurr i'm going to 'cook' this several inch thick steak
>aww yeah, cold fat and meat in the middle
>>7315469
>my faggot wife
>>7315469
sorry about your gay wife, mane
>>7315474
Eh it's cool. At least she doesn't complain about my diet. She leaves me alone, and I do the same. Besides calling her a faggot like every day.
So I'm gonna render the fat I cut off.
>>7315469
>wife is a vegan
Don't tell me you married her knowing this. It's shit like this that reminds me why I get a hard on when my gf eats bacon.
>>7315459
this is not the way to cook steak you stupid piece of shit the red means the fat inside the steak hasnt rendered and its completely raw there.
you want it to be pink that means the fat has melted into the meat and it is 100x more delicious
>>7315496
>people take overcooking their meat this seriously
medium rare cultists, everybody
>>7315497
Medium rare is factually the best way to have a steak.
>>7315405
make kitfo!
>>7315493
No the conch initially eight meet with me all the time. But then her best friend turned vegan. I saw the warning signs, but I ignored them. I even told her if she thinks she's going to turn vegan then I'm fucking out, and she reassured me that that wasn't going to happen. But then I put a ring on her finger. Three months later, she tells me she's done eating meat
Happy birthday you flaming faggot :D
>>7315546
I'm sorry to hear that my nigga. I guess I got lucky cause my gf has said she can't live without meat.
>>7315469
i like this guy!!!
>>7315546
did you just spell ate as eight you fucking degenerate
>>7315497
>i dont think cooking offers any benefit to meat
>>7315576
Bro I'm using voice command on my shitty cell phone excuse me.

Must be the same person complaining about image.jpg in two other threads.
>>7315508

>>7315587
>Bro I'm using voice command on my shitty cell phone excuse me.
This is where we're at now?
>>7315620
Under normal conditions, no. But I had to at the moment.
Fat is starting to look like it should
>>7315487
you seem like a docuhe
but hey happy birthday
>>7315665
still lurking op, i wanna see where this goes
>>7315693
When we call each other faggot, there's real love behind it.
Love is finding a woman you can call a retarded faggot, and she just laughs and tells you to Fuck off.
If you don't have that I feel bad for you
This was fan to watch unfold. Happy birthday OP, hope you enjoyed that steak.
What's your plan for the fat?
>>7315807
My gf and I call each other retard/stupid/etc constantly too, sometimes endearingly
anywa, steak looked dank
>>7315827
IT IS COMPLETED
nothing spectacular really, just going to use it to fry my eggs in the morning, things like that.
>>7315496
By that logic you should cook stake until the fatty strip (the best part) has melted off.
>>7315807
You sound English. Most adults through most of the world simply don't have the inclination to engage in what your witless island considers banter.
>>7315405
Happy Birthday OP
From all of us at /ck/
>>7315929
not me though
>>7315886
>there are people who don't sear the sides of a steak
fucking leave
>>7315546
>But then I put a ring on her finger. Three months later, she tells me she's done eating meat
This is always the way . . .
>>7315470
>the year of our lord two thousand and sixty-ten
>not doing a reverse sear
I giffy-gaffy guff guff
>>7315496
>fat melts inside the steak turning it pink
now THAT'S what i call broscience
>>7315405
You fucked up OP.
I only got half a pound of Wagyu, but I cooked it properly. Whole, and on the grill. None of this sissy pan shit. I think your wife's faggotry is rubbing off on you.
>>7316744
for my birthday i want every single mod on /ck/ to fucking stab themselves in their balls with a two pronged fork
>>7316744
no offense your steak doesn't look the same quality as OP's
also
there's nothing wrong with slicing up fatty steak into thin strips
that's the way they prepare it in Japan
>>7315422
>It looks much better once you slice it
>>7316748
Well, if that's the way they do it in Japland I guess it's okay!
>>7316745
>>7316748
>no offense your steak doesn't look the same quality as OP's
Maybe. This wasn't the best strip I've gotten of Wagyu, but I've gotten ones similar/better than he has at my local grocery. It's from Snake River Farms, I believe.
>>7316766
it is.
and i'm trying to think of the actual benefits of doing so
cons:
>cools faster
>might overcook middle
pros:
>can sear more of a surface
>more control i guess
>>7316777
>that un-even texture in the middle. The fibres haven't been cooked well enough.
>>7315508
>>7315497
>>7316740
>>7315886
wagyu is way different than a regular steak; there's so much intramuscular fat that it has to be cooked to medium to render it. medium rare leaves it chewy.
it's way different than rendering an entire fat cap, dumbasses. mediumi makes it taste like the steak was infused with butter.. med rare is still delicious, and you get some of that buttery-ness, but it's chewy.
i mean obviously this isn't as big a difference as we're making it out to be, but medium ius the best way to enjoy that steak. objectively speaking, of course.
>>7316777
Ehhhh, I prefer the strips op made. Don't get me wrong this looks good as fuck too, but if I could only have one it would be op's preparation.
>>7315459
Wow, that looks horrible.
>>7316826
Where you can see the fibres formed... It's cooked properly. That middle part where it's red with no fibre formed isn't cooked. It probably registers as room temperature when probed.
>>7315890
Shut it faggot

>>7316777
Why did you buy fake American wagyu instead of genuine Japanese wagyu?
You don't care that you didn't eat meat from an actual Japanese cow?
>>7316976
>Why did you buy fake American wagyu instead of genuine Japanese wagyu?
Because that would be incredibly expensive and isn't convenient and $25 a pound like this American stuff is.
>>7316976
>You don't care that you didn't eat meat from an actual Japanese cow?
I've had grade A4 Wagyu from Japan sushi. Was $15 for two pieces, but oh so worth it. I'd kill for a NY strip of that to cook up.
>>7316979
Many American restaurants and American meat distributors like to scam customers into thinking they sell real Japanese wagyu so Japan's beef producers created an association to try to prevent the scam from going further.
Here is a list of every American or foreign restaurant or distributor outside of Japan that serves or sells Genuine Kobe Beef (and other Japanese beef) and has gotten certified and authorized by Japan's Wagyu Association.
http://www.kobe-niku.jp/shop/?lang=1
Next time, you buy or eat Wagyu, check this list to see if you didn't get scammed or not.
Also, picture related, any meat distributor or restaurant outside Japan will now be encouraged to display this Japanese certification plaque as proof to customers that they are selling geniune Japanese beef.
If you still don't believe them, Japan has IDed every amount of Japanese Wagyu they sell to other countries in this list so you can check if you aren't getting scammed or not.

So yeah, hope this post is helpful to people who want to try real Kobe or Japanese beef in the future.
Just bookmark this official Japanese Kobe Beef Marketing & Distribution Promotion Association website and if you ever have the opportunity to try Kobe Beef, check this site to make sure you didn't get scammed.

I don't know what country you are from but the link I gave you shows all restaurants and distributors for almost every country that serves and sells genuine Japanese wagyu outside of Japan.
>>7316979
There's absolutely no difference, weeb.
>>7317000
Ironic because White People make a big deal over Chicken compared to Beef.
For example, France's Bresse Chicken.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresse_chicken
Europe cares about chicken in the same way the Japanese care about cows.
Are you gonna claim there is no difference now?

I don't think they're a weeaboo, dude.
Don't be down on someone just because they're concerned with quality. Provide objective evidence that there is no difference if you think there isn't. Your words are just your opinion without anything to back it up.
The other poster, on the other hand, claims there is a difference and provided evidence of the difference: the fact that it comes from Japan.
I know you're likely speaking to the taste or the quality, but you did not specify that in either of your posts. I challenge you to provide evidence of a difference that goes above and beyond the fact that "real" kobe is from kobe and "fake" is from elsewhere. Extra points if you can do it without insulting or attacking character.
>>7315405
BRO... my bday is 1/27/84 too!! ..I didn't make any steak though, my gf took me out for dinner to a pretty decent restaurant and I ordered some chicken, it was great.
Like old dude said above, that's very likely not real. Kobe - style is still great beef typically, but not really better than prime in general. It's also really hard to get the real stuff outside of japan, and 100 bucks for two pounds sounds way low to me.
>>7320122
Wagyu does not mean Kobe beef. It just means Japanese beef. That said it looks like a very shitty cut if its actually Japanese beef. I've never seen so little marbling on the super market steaks in Tokyo, but it does look like an Aussie or American cut that literally go for half the price
Waygu is the breed. Kobe is the method.

Can attest to this. Me and my s/o call each other faggots constantly.
Then again we are faggots, so what can I say.
