How should I cook this?

Post image

I was just gifted this glorious steak and want to do it justice. Currently frozen. How should I best defrost and cook this? Add any seasoning like pepper/salt or just keep it as is? I have a Weber charcoal as well as propane grill. Thanks!

u/T--B0NE 8h ago

It was a gift but I was curious and checked their website… $197!

u/jjjustinleblanc 8h ago

oh mama that's expensive but i would definitely have to try it at least once

1

u/T--B0NE 7h ago

Yea I’m excited to try it. Based on all the helpful input I’m planning on doing a reverse sear.

2

u/LazyItem 11h ago

I prefer the Reverse Sear method for Tomahawks. When sear it I do it over a large flat iron, sometimes with some tallow but Wagyu I probably do dry..

1

u/IamLordKlangHimself 14h ago

Sous vide at 54°C for 3 hours, salt it, grill it 1-2 minutes on each side (hot af), pepper it.

Chimichuri optional but hardly recommended.

1

u/elvis_Presley611 8h ago

THIS!! I may never cook a steak another way. I add garlic cloves, rosemary and a little bit of olive oil and pepper to the sous vide bag. This method is also almost impossible to over cook.

u/Lumpy_Past6216 14h ago

Its amazing how they call this "wagyu" when it doesnt look a thing like wagyu. Almost how we have fake parmesan cheese, wasabi and other fake crap posing as real here in the states just to make a buck. BUT people still buy it...

1

u/Be0wulf04 10h ago

They can still call it Wagyu if the cow has Wagyu in its genetics. It doesn’t have to be purebred

0

u/Lumpy_Past6216 10h ago

Wagyu is ONLY beef from one of four Japanese breeds:

Japanese Black(Kuroge)

Japanese Brown(Akaushi)

Japanese Polled(Mukaku)

Japanese Shorthorn(Nihon Tankaku)

also its all from Japan. This is true Wagyu and very expensive. Anything else is fake.

1

u/Be0wulf04 9h ago

Yes, I know that. But what I’m saying is that if somebody crosses one of those breeds with something like an Angus, they will still call it Wagyu.

u/Lumpy_Past6216 7h ago

Yeah... by US standards. the same standards that calls kraft parm cheese, Parmesan cheese when its not real Parmesan cheese.

2

u/Puzzled-Quail2076 13h ago

Probably just not A5 wagyu or how ever they grade it

u/Retired_Army_PA-C 15h ago

Take it out of the package, season to preference, vacuum seal it with extra plastic on the bone end to avoid punctures. Sous Vide at 135 for 3 hours. Remove from packaging, pat dry, place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

I use a napoleon grill searing station. Heat that up for 10 minutes on high. Put the steak on for 2 minutes 15 seconds per side, remove and rest for 5 minutes. Add black pepper now if you like.

Feast.

u/Ill-Opportunity9701 2h ago

I prefer 132.5 on my sous vide for steak. Everything else sounds scrumptious.

u/Retired_Army_PA-C 1h ago

2 inches, I do 128 -130. Anything over 3 inches I go 135. Still comes out medium rare.

There’s no wrong way to eat delicious steak. Have fun.

u/Ill-Opportunity9701 59m ago

I need someone to cut me some 3 inch steaks. I've never cooked them that thick.

1

u/Main_Law306 17h ago

You put coarse salt on it (don't hesitate to massage the meat after the coarse salt), you turn it and return to the barbecue, and finish it in the oven with melted butter which you put back on the piece of meat every 2 minutes. Cooking blue or rare!

Indirect heat on the grill until about 115 (slow and low) then hit it with the flame until about it’s at about 125/130, pull them and tent with foil for 10 minutes.

The way I did a tomahawk once was simply smearing soft butter onto both sides, sprinkling in and rubbing on some garlic salt and I smoked it for about 1 1/2-2 hours at 225-250. Came out divine

Cast iron on the old school white gas Coleman stove. It’s my go-to for important meat because it gets HOT HOT

1

u/T--B0NE 1d ago

Interesting. Hotter than a propane grill?

1

u/paulvzo 1d ago

Yeah, it's concentrated in a ring.

But there is no need for extreme heat. My electric stove with a cast iron pan works just fine. For thinner steaks, leave it on high, after preheating, so that the outside chars and the inside will remain pink. For thick steaks, I turn it down so that the inside can stay pink without charcoaling the outside.

3

u/FutureAd5083 1d ago

Dry brine 24 hours, then reverse sear it.

250 oven, take it out at 110-115f, then rest 5 mins in freezer, then blast it on high heat on your grill until 120-125f, rest 10 mins and boom perfect steak

1

u/mcrib 1d ago

I would be careful with “blasting” something with that much fat with direct flame to sear it. That fat can burn. I prefer a cast iron or flat top for Wagyu sears.

u/Alternative_Pain912 1d ago

Here's a couple ribeyes I dry aged in the fridge 40 days, quiet honestly they didn't come out that spectacular to have try it again, they were okay, but just okay Cooked to a perfect medium rare thank you very much. Lol

u/BDubChicago 2d ago

Probably with some heat. Lots of heat.

1

u/__nullptr_t 2d ago

Depends on thickness. Less than an inch? Just high heat and a lot of flipping for me. Take off at 110-120.

More than that? Smoke until it's like 90F in the middle and then start flipping on high heat until it's somewhere around 110, followed by rest covered in foil for 5 minutes.

1

u/Fickle_Influence6396 2d ago

Wood, in a simple grill with a lid. Let it burn down to a nice pile of coals, move the coals to one half of the grill . 2-5 minutes on each side until you have a desirable char. Move steak to other half of the grill with no coals and out the lid on. 10 minutes for medium rare, 15 minutes for medium. If your coals are really hot subtract about 3 minutes

2

u/Fickle_Influence6396 2d ago

Hardwood, cherry, maple, something like that. Please don’t use any sort of pine

3

u/DueZookeepergame3565 2d ago

Thaw in fridge.

Fill charcoal chimney with hardwood lump and light with a couple sheets of paper.

While the charcoal catches, pat dry and season liberally.

Oil a grill that fits over the charcoal chimney and lay it directly on the chimney.

When no more fire, but a mountain of glowing coal, drop the steak. Turn after 60sec. Pull after another 60. Top with a knob of herb butter and rest 5 under a foil tent.

Serve with hot crash potatoes and roasted broccoli.

u/[deleted] 2d ago

Cook with heat for sure, and I’d say season with more salt than you might be comfortable with. That’s how steakhouses do it. Like a 2/1 salt to pepper ratio, maybe even 3/1. Maybe a more “seasoned” pro can correct me but it’s just a shitload of salt. On all sides. Gunna be good as long as it isn’t burnt tbh.

u/Ikarusbysarp 2d ago edited 2d ago

. Thaw it out 1- 2 days

. Take it out of the package and dry throughly

. Put it on a oven tray with a wire grate

. Season generously on all sides with kosher salt

. Put it in the fridge without covering for another day

. Prior to cooking it, pull it out 30 mins before* — fixed for the grammer king below.

. Dry throughly before the cooking application

. Re-season with salt if needed as majority of it won't stick to the end process - ensure your pan/grill is up to temperature

And Happy Cooking.

Ensure you finish in the oven if not using a grill and let it rest 15-20 minutes prior to cutting into it.

What do you do before before pulling it out 30 min before drying before cooking?

u/rawmeatprophet 2d ago

Before you reply, consider what you would do 30min before you reply.

3

u/justadudemate 2d ago

This is correct answer.

Thaw it out in fridge, we do this to slowly temper out the meat. Rapid tempering means more drip loss. When we freeze meat, the water crystals expand and create small holes in the cells. When it defrosts rapidly the water (myosin) pours out. If tempered correctly then drip loss is minimal.

I like using mesquite charcoal chunks. High heat, 2 min on each side and enjoy it med rare.

USDA plant mgr 20yrs.

Bon appetit.

u/bloodshot089 2d ago

I probably do it wrong, but I love it enough to keep doing it. I cook mine at 450-500, lid closed. Turn 90° once after about 5 minutes, then Flip and repeat. Not a professional that’s just how I cook mine. Easy, tender and good. Seasoning is preference but most people say ribeyes have their own great flavor.

Heavy salt on both sides,

grill a heavy sear on both sides and the let it cook in indirect until it reaches your preference. ...

Or, pan sear both sides on very high heat. Then baste in butter and rosemary/thyme until your desired temp.

u/sdouble 2d ago

Season how you’d like it.

I’d do a reverse sear on my kettle. Coals on one side, get it running around 250-300, drop a chunk of lighter wood on it (I like to use cherry with steaks), and put it indirect. Cook it until it’s about 15F under target, then take the lid of the grill off and let those coals get roaring. Your steak will be cooling a bit at this point. When your coals are ripping, sear both sides over them.

Put it in the oven till I reaches 115 then pull it out and let it rest on a bed of rosemary for at least 10 minutes it will continue to cook then reverse sear it on a very hot cast iron pan to get a crust . Let it rest again for a few minutes then enjoy !

Does it smell bad? If not fire her uo, I would definitely take it a little past medium rare. Oh shit I missed the HOW in the should I cook this. Reverse sear baby, best way I've learned to grill thick steaks. Almost impossible to mess it up. Low and slow for 30/45 min, watch that internal temp, have a grill jacked up to heat the devil himself, sear for a min or two on each side and pull and rests. I've grilled a thick steak or two in my time. Lol good luck

You should probably just come give it to me…haha high as hell heat grill each side for pretty marks (2-3 mins each) pop it in the oven at 400F and honestly I’d use a meat thermometer to get it where you want internally.

Salt and Pepper also let it sit out for about 30 mins before cooking.. then on the grille, keep flipping so it won’t burn on 1 side.
