    Snake River Farms American Wagyu boneless ribeye sous vide reverse sear

    Tonight’s dinner was something I’ve never done before..... a Snake River Farms American Wagyu beef ribeye steak! My wife bought me one for my birthday last month, and I vacuumed sealed it and put it in the freezer to cook when I had time to do it up right. Tonight was the night, and I decided the best approach was to thaw the steak, sous vide it for two hours at 129 degrees, and do a reverse sear on a hot Lodge cast iron griddle on its flat side on my Big Green Egg for 30 seconds on each side.

    This was a great quality cut of beef, definitely had the beefier taste and tenderness that wagyu steaks are known for as their reputation, and worth the price. However, that price means it will be a rare cook, and especially only for special occasions!

    As I often do on my cook posts, here are some pictures of the cook and results.

          Yup, that is the only way to do steaks---sv and then reverse sear!! Good job.

            Great looking steak. Question...I’m still a little hazy on the whole wagyu thing. From what I understand it’s a Japanese breed of cattle but then I see American wagyu. Does that mean it’s American cattle but raised differently?

              Oh man. I have a couple of these in the freezer. I do them the same way. So good. Time to dream up a special occasion and pull them out for a dip in the pool! Thanks for the inspiration pitmaster.

                      That's a great looking piece of protein. May I ask why you seared in a pan opposed to over live fire since you had it going? Just curious.

                        I had the egg going to smoke a bourbon salmon filet for,my wife’s dinner, so after it was done I removed the plate setter and set a small grate on the fire ring. I had the juices saved from the sous vide cook to use as fat on the pan, and when the pan was hot enough, I seared the steak on it to retain as much as of the fat flavor on the steak rather than losing it from the open flames.
