Grilled Wagyu Beef Steak

Ingredients

Wagyu beef steak

1 pound

Olive oil

1 tablespoon

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Optional: Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme)

for garnish

Optional: Compound butter

for serving

Instructions

1. Remove the Wagyu beef steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step ensures even cooking.
2. Preheat your grill to high heat. Make sure the grates are clean for optimal searing.
3. Generously season both sides of the Wagyu beef steak with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. The seasoning should enhance, not overpower, the natural flavors.
4. Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Use a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs for safety.
5. Place the Wagyu beef steak on the grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for precision: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
6. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more flavorful bite.
7. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with optional garnishes of fresh herbs or a dollop of compound butter for an extra touch of richness.
