Best way to Cook a 2lb. American Wagyu Cowboy Steak.

[ssandy_561]

I’ll be cooking a 2 lb. American Wagyu Gold Grade Cowboy Steak from Snake River Farms this Saturday for me and some friends.

I was planing on cooking this the reverse sear method. I’ve never cooked American Wagyu before and was wondering if the reverse sear method would make too much of the marbling "fall out" of the steak before it was done.

I’m probably overthinking this but I don’t want to screw this up.

Any advice on cooking this steak would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I'd go reverse sear. It's how I do all of my steaks. On the PBC for some smoke until 120 IT then a rockin' hot sear. Keep her moving on the sear step as she'll be dripping fat like mad and you don't want that to cause the steak to burn!

I've used this exact method - works great!

I would actually be tempted to slice it into portions before cooking then do a quick sear in a pan. I would not want to low and slow a 2lb wagyu because that fat WILL render out faster than anything you have ever seen.

I cant remember where i read it, but i do remember seeing that the best way was to pre slice and cook in individual strips. Quick sear on all sides and eat.

Have you thought about Sous Vide then sear? It takes a while but IMO the best way to cook that grade of beef. Good luck to you and look forward to seeing the finished product.

I just did a post on reverse searing a 4# Gold American Wagyu Picanha from SRF. Same difference as your's, just a bit larger. Worked out fine, really didn't act any different then a Prime as far as the cook was concerned. Go for it !!!

Reverse sear all the way. Done many a SRF American Wagyu Gold Grade Cowboy. Usually they are bigger. Just do it outside!

LOL funny story...

I sent a SRF American Wagyu Gold Grade Cowboy to my NAVY boy out in Fallon for his b day. First time ever for him, so I talked him through it the whole time. He insisted that it was too much snow out to use his grill. I said he must, but oven method it was. Real slow up to 118, he did really good. Then came sear time. He scorched up a CI real hot, and threw the steak on. This was the next pic I got from him.

Yes, he said it was the best b day ever.

Looks like San Fran on a clear day!

Reverse sear with a little mesquite or Oak smile while lie and slow. Cook Waygu and Prime cowboy cut steaks all the time like that (have a local market that carry's them). Never had the marbeling fall out on me.
