Japanese Wagyu Beef Fillet Steaks
Treat yourself with a dining experience you will never forget. With great marbling, these fillet wagyu steaks will melt in your mouth. It delivers incredible long-lasting flavour notes, unique sweet aromas and tenderness that will captivate your senses.
The fillet is located under the striploin and is the most tender muscle which does the least amount of work. It is a leaner, a less heavy alternative than ribeye or striploin for steaks.
How to prepare your fillet steaks
Ingredients:
• Wagyu fillet steak
• Coarse sea salt
• A neutral oil with a high smoke point (like avocado oil)
• A knob of unsalted butter
• Fresh thyme (optional)
1. Bring the Wagyu to Room Temperature
Take your Wagyu fillet out of the fridge about 30-45 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.
2. Season Generously
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides with coarse sea salt. Don’t be shy, Wagyu has incredible marbling, so it can handle a good amount of seasoning.
3. Preheat Your Pan
Heat a cast-iron skillet or stainless-steel pan over medium-high heat. You want it very hot to get a good sear on the steak. Add a small amount of neutral oil and swirl it to coat the pan.
4. Sear the Steak
Once the pan is smoking hot, place the Wagyu fillet in the pan. Do not touch it for 2-3 minutes—you want a rich, golden-brown crust. Flip the steak and repeat on the other side. Depending on thickness, it will take about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
5. Butter Basting (Optional but Delicious!)
Lower the heat to medium-low. Add a knob of butter and some fresh thyme to the pan. As the butter melts, tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with the infused butter for about 1-2 minutes.
6. Check for Doneness
For a perfect medium-rare, you want the internal temperature to be 54°C. Use a meat thermometer to be sure, or press the steak gently; it should feel firm but still have some give.
7. Rest the Steak
Remove the Wagyu fillet from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, giving you a juicier steak.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Slice the steak against the grain, and serve with simple sides like roasted vegetables or a light salad. Wagyu is rich, so keep the sides minimal to let the meat shine.
