What is the difference between Wagyu and Kobe beef?
The term Wagyu is the name of the breed of cattle which translates to mean Japanese cow. The term Kobe beef can only be applied to Wagyu cattle that are produced in the Kobe region of Japan. So rightfully Wagyu cattle produced outside of Kobe Japan should always be termed Wagyu. Q: What is the best method for cooking Wagyu? A: Wagyu beef is versatile and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Our favorite way to enjoy Wagyu is by keeping it simple, cook it hot and fast. We lightly season our steaks and burgers with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Lightly wipe a cast iron skillet with canola or olive oil and heat the skillet until it smokes. Add your steaks or burgers and sear for approximately 3 minutes each side to achieve meat that is medium rare. This method of cooking enhances Wagyu’s legendary buttery taste and velvety texture.
