Ingredients
  

For the Steak:
  • 1/2 lb American Wagyu Chuck Eye Roll Steak succulent cut with rich marbling
  • Salt to enhance the steak's natural flavors
  • Ground black pepper for a touch of spice
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil for searing the steak
  • 1/2 tablespoon Salted butter enriches the dish with creamy flavor
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley for freshness and garnish

Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet
  • Tongs
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Start by taking the Wagyu steak out of the refrigerator and letting it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
  2. Sprinkle both sides of the steak with a generous amount of salt and ground black pepper.
  3. Place your cast iron skillet on medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Allow it to get hot until the oil shimmers.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned Wagyu steak into the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it.
  5. Use tongs to flip the steak and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Baste the melted butter over the steak.
  7. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak, aiming for about 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  8. Once you’ve reached your desired doneness, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Slice the steak against the grain, plate it, and drizzle any remaining garlic butter on top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Allow the steak to come to room temperature for even cooking.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for the best sear.
  • Resting the steak improves juiciness and flavor.
