Wagyu refers to a breed of beef that originates from Japan. The meat is heavily marbled which leads to its tender, buttery flavour. Traditionally, the wagyu cattle are fed for 600 days after weaning which is at least double what non-wagyu breeds experience, all lending to its superior quality.

The trick to cooking wagyu is to cook it carefully and gently. It is a rich and luscious breed that shines when the middle is left almost raw. To cook a wagyu steak, make sure it is heavily seasoned with sea salt. Brush olive oil over the steak and then cook in a hot pan for two minutes on each side.
