It's very fatty. It's beef, but extremely high fat spread throughout.

[Anonymous No.19643588]

>>19643574
it was good, but I think it's overrated. Some people like the 'melt in your mouth' fattiness, but I think it's a bit of an odd sensation when a steak doesn't need to be chewed much. Worth trying once in your life.

It's a texture thing. Basically super soft and melty due to the fat content. Not super strong on the beef flavor - beef ribs will have far stronger flavor. Basically it's a beef rib experience turned up to 11.

>>19643588
I also think this with sous vide. When it was first getting big someone I know did it, and some people were really into how consistent it was cooked throughout. Then some others, including me, though that the lack of texture was not good.
So, different strokes for different folks. I'm a fella who doesn't mind chewing his food though.

Meat butter. When they say “it cuts/melts like butter” that’s what they’re talking about. When you can afford one, don’t just throw the whole thing on a grill and cook it like normally, cut little pieces off and eat it cube by cube or strip by strip so you get the cook perfectly.

>I wish I could afford it.
The Korean bbq experience of the thin sliced short rib is as close as you can get to the tenderness of wagyu without paying the high price of it, and comes with the bonus of higher beef flavor for the money. Basically take that experience, turn up the fat content, turn down the beef flavor, and make it 5x as soft, and that is wagyu as a full up steak.

hypothetically if i took regular ground beef and added enough tallow to make it the same fat% of ground wagyu, what would be the difference? does wagyu fat taste different from normal cow fat?

The big thing people don't realise about wagyu is it's essentially meat from a HIGHLY diabetic cow. Diabetes (see: insulin resistance) can make it difficult for your body to store fat properly, resulting in fat spilling back out. You see this in American lardos where the fat just collects at the front of their gut. The same effect causes the "marbling" in wagyu meat. The cow can't store the fat properly so it just goes wherever.

The main reason wagyu is so expensive is the diet needed to give a cow insulin resistance THEN fatten is up is way more expensive than just feeding it hay.

I've had it thricely: once as sashimi-like, once as a steak and the last time because a friend of mine is a fucking idiot and got a bowl of the shit thinly sliced for fucking hot pot.
The sashimi one was paid for by a guy I know who has no friends and basically pays people to hang out with him by buying them food or alcohol and shit.
Because I liked the sashimi, I got wagyu as a steak at a resto. I was very close to trolling the waiter and asking for mine well done but I got it rare to medium.
The last time, the slices literally melted into the broth. Fucking pointless.

It's quite nice, especially raw, as it's exceedingly soft. Before I had it, people told me that it's bland but I didn't find that to be the case at all and I overseason fucking everything. I don't recall what cut I had as a steak, but it was far softer than a typical fillet. While less pronounced than other steaks, it wasn't bland, having about as beefy a flavor as fillet itself (compare fillet's flavour to, say, chuck roast; fillet is less pronounced in its beefiness).
I don't recall how much the steak cost but iirc, the hot pot was $50 for s tiny bowl of slices.

How fucking poor are you exactly? Australian 8+ wagyu entrecôte is 200-250$/kg. So 75 bucks of a decent steak. 500$/kg for Japanese A5 strip loin.

Beef that identifies as butter.

That's 3 hours of my wage for a steak. I'm not paying that. When it reaches 1 hours wage I'll consider it

[Anonymous No.19644298]

>>19644291
Fair enough. I recommend trying just 100g for first time. A 300g steak is way to heavy for obvious reasons. So your one hour goal just got easier. Good luck!

Beef tallow? Doesn’t taste as good as butter, but I use it to fry certain things.

I like to fry eggs in leftover burger grease.
I'm not even huge on beef but burger grease srsly makes for a better fried egg than bacon grease does. I know. I was surprised, too, and if someone else would have posted this before I did it for myself, I'd have denounced him as a blaspheming heretic but I can tell you with utter candor that it's true.

Salt by weight 1.3 to 1.4 percent, rest it overnight in the fridge, and then fry it on a hot, dry pan (no oil or fat whatsoever) and it's honestly OK to cook to mid-rare to mid

Once it has been cooked and the fat rendered, it's pretty tasteless, one of the most overrated memes of the last decade.

First you have to like the taste and texture of fat.
second you need lots of money.
both describe me.

as to the taste, very mildly flavored beef. any other steak will have more of a beef flavor than A5.
super tender.
can be cooked to well done and still be super tender.

makes great chili, and burritos.

Jap A5 is an overindulgent decadent meme, impossible for a non fatass to eat over 8oz in one sitting. Blows your mind if its your first experience with wagyu, after that your basically smarter and realize you dont want it more than twice a year.
Aus A6-7 is beef: perfected.
Aus 8-9 is for people who LOVE beef.

He's just some sad, hyper rich kid who went to a competing high school.
When we went for the sushi, there were a half dozen of us, himself not included, and he paid for everyone. Hundreds of fucking dollars (maybe even a G, idfk) on people who don't even like him. I legit tried to be his friend but he's a challenge to be around and doesn't know how to behave around people other than to shower them with cash and gifts. He thinks buying people things gives him a license to treat people badly. Imagine if Napoleon Dynamite had money and an even worse, borderline psychotic personality. I wouldn't be surprised if he killed a hooker some day (if he hasn't done so already). He was also challenging to just look at, being ugly af.
He looks like an angry cabbage patch doll because he, sadly, takes after his hideously potato-faced Mick father rather than his hot af trophy wife Latina mother.
AFAIK the only people who talk to him now that we're all grown and with money of our own are a literal retard and the whores he frequents.
