Equipment
- cast iron pan or stainless steel skillet
Ingredients
- 16 oz Wagyu steak
- 2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Rest your Wagyu steak at room temperature 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.
- Generously salt steak with Kosher salt on both sides.
- Take your cast iron pan or stainless steel skillet and put it on the stove at medium heat. Allow the pan to get hot.
- Rub the fat cap around the steak on the entire inside of the pan. The fat will begin to melt and "grease" the pan to prevent the steak from sticking.
- Place the steak on the hot cast iron or stainless steel pan and cook for about a minute and half.
- Flip the steak and cook until the internal temperature reaches about 120 to 125 degrees for rare or 130 to 135 degrees for medium rare.
- Rest 5 to 10 minutes then slice into strips.
