cost be damned i'd be eating a couple of those, do they make tartar out of it?

the place that does that is a tempura specialist, so that's the only way they do wagyu.


I found a few pics of wagyu tartare at varying price points

haha did they really have to put this in there?

Went to a steakhouse last year. Couple next to us ordered a Wagyu trio for about $160.. and they asked for it well done. :'(

On the other hand, had Wagyu carpaccio (and hamachi) this past weekend. Amazing.

I don't even want to live on the same planet as those people.
The husband of one of my coworkers was one of those guys who sold steaks from a truck. I showed her a steak I had cooked and she told me she could get me much better steaks from her husband, because they didn't have as much fat. It took a while to explain to her that the steaks her husband were selling were barely above dog food grade - select, not even choice. She thought that prime meant the lowest rung, then choice, then select was the best steaks. Lol. She still insists that they're better without fat on them.

I wonder how many bottles of A1 sauce her household buys in a year.

Yes, about once a year we have to exorcise the creepy people from our neighborhood.

I'm confused.

You expel people that are selling meat from the back of a truck.

Or you expel people as meat in the back of a truck?

Either way I'm happy I don't live within a thousand miles of your neighborhood.

super lean steak has its purpose... just not as a steak. :p

Buying bulk beef from a truck would be handy for comparing sizes to various engine parts.

What's a good way to prepare it?

Served with rice (hitomebore, but I would've used koshihikari if it wasn't twice the price) and deep-fried Brussels sprouts.

Full meal:

French onion soup
Moules mariniere
A5 wagyu ribeye with deep-fried Brussels sprouts on rice
Lemon curd-topped cheesecake in an almond brown butter pastry pie crust

Isnt that the stuff you CANT get in America no matter how much somebody claims they can?
I think it's the stuff that people keep claiming you can't get in America even though it's all but shown up next to the roller dogs at 7-11."Waygu and Slurpy, $2.50."

This is a thing?

sadly yes. They also will park a semi truck at the mall and have commercials on the radio non-stop.

usually something like 20 ribeye's for $20.

A buddy of mine did it once. they were paper thin, smelled and tasted weird. I question if they were beef.
