Directions:
- 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.
- Sprinkle both sides of the steak with a generous amount of salt and ground black pepper.
- Place your cast iron skillet on medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Allow it to get hot until the oil shimmers.
- Carefully place the seasoned Wagyu steak into the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it.
- Use tongs to flip the steak and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Baste the melted butter over the steak.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak, aiming for about 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- Once you’ve reached your desired doneness, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- 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.
