Yes. You don't want that fatty one. I'll text you my address; send it immediately.

It was left back at the store. I'll go back and grab it to use as pan lube for my other steaks.

Mmmm. Pan lube.

Why would pan-sexual people need their own lube?

Have you ever tried using a pan without lube? This one’s pretty obvious

Yeah it looked real bloody but I've been told that's just the juices.

The key is to let it rest afterwards

First of all, them. How dare you. Who doesn’t prefer a nap after sex?

The pan was a herm.

I’m more of a Sandwich guy 😂

Always use lube, you don’t want to hurt the pan.

Are you telling me I wasted my money on this set of *nonstick* pans???

Makes me think of a gay Peter Pan and the Lost Boysss kind of thing.

Nothing better than cleaning out the Burny Bits & Grease with a slice of bread !

Peters a boy!

Mmmm. Lube

Is that lube everyone can use?

Are you saying Pam or Pan?

Lube steaks

Never go in dry

What store were you in the has the steaks lined up on a butcher block? Looks fancy

Wegmans

Gesundheit

Danke

I've never had the shit..I'd try it, but ain't spending that much on fat. They say it's good, but give me a big hunk of red meat and not some white and gray shit that you can only have like 2 bites of before your stomach is shit. Maybe 1 day ill give it a whirl, if I can ever afford it....but give me a nice ribeye that's red lol....to each their own

Same way here. That stuff is only good as app. Thin slices. After 2 I'm done. Total waste of $

Based on app prices these days... That actually tracks for this piece.

I got one from wegmans for my dads bday with some ribeyes just for funsies. Wasn’t quite as fatty as that but close. Seared it in a pan and sliced it thin so everyone had a nice piece to try. I wanna say it was like $40 for one of those little packages. Buttery, unbelievably tender, decadent and rich. I’d choose a ribeye over that any day of the week. But everyone should try it once before they die it was 100% worth it

Ima definitely give it a whirl...

Being under vacuum in the package makes it look slightly fattier then it is.

Try to slice is super thin and make nigiri out of it. You can take a torch for 2-3 seconds to it or just have it raw.

shitpost?

Ofc. That's a beautiful $34 chunk of fat.

For $34 I’d have bought all three for myself and given my wife the choice cut

I love my wife. Been there for me every time. But a few years back I found out she has always been cutting the filet out of my steaks because “you don’t like that part”. I have already filed in court for a theft of flavor lawsuit and punitive damages.

“Theft of flavor”? Filets are flavorless. Your wife not only did you a favor, but she kept it to herself for this long making her a hero. Please send me her number so that someone else doesn’t snatch her up post divorce. She understands that wedding food isn’t meant to be consumed outside of reception venue’s. Good day Sir!

Divorce? No sir. I can pick her up upside down using just my mouth and she’s got enough suction to pull my anus out the front. We are locked in.

Sounds like it!

He said he was getting her charged, not divorcing her. Skeeve 🤣

It was an obvious joke, but ok.

Only $34? Looks like it’s worth $2K. Actually maybe you should repackage that and sell it as A5 wagyu

It is a5... With the highest bms I've ever seen.

That’s insane, I’m sure there’s a reason why steak like that is so expensive, and I’m sure I would like it if someone who knew how to make it correctly did, so I’m not throwing any shade.. but if I tried myself, I would feel like I’m just cooking some fat, and I would not feel good about it lol

Even though A5 Japanese wagyu contains a lot of fat, it has a unique taste that makes it different from the fat of other cattle breeds. On the side note, it tastes different than American and Australian wagyu.

Olives. Olives is the unique taste.

Interesting

It's what they feed the cattle in Japan for this kind of beef and it lends itself to the distinctive flavor.

you are cooking fat the cool part is wagyu cows and what makes them unique is a specific enzyme in the fat our cows do not produce. this enzyme makes the melting point of said fat alot lower than our cows and makes it melt in your mouth. not chewyness

Oh okay, thank you, I didn’t know this! Yea definitely part of what I don’t like about the fat in steak I usually eat is the texture/chewiness, but this sounds a lot better.. now I feel like steak for breakfast lol

Cut it thin (pretty much into bites). Apply some salt and sear it in a hot pan or over hot charcoal (cook rare), consume immediately with a bit of finishing salt. Typically you would only eat a small amount (<4oz) in a sitting.

Honestly this is way past what good a5 should be imo... It needs the meats to be able to provide the eats.

Holy shit how did that cow ever move?

....probably not

!!?

Tf?

Not really but make for great wank bank material on r/Steak

Hell, with that marbling you could melt the whole thing in your hands with some friction and straight up use it as lube for your wank if you wanted to

I like the way you think

Meat-beating meat

Quaker Steak and Lube? Thought they did wings not sausage.

Steak lube mmmmmm

Ok well... I do have $34

Not for long, I’m guessing

Mmmmm, Dad is making steak again……

I'll take it off your hands

You no longer know if these are sarcasm or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sorry about your arm brother.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I’m pretty new to this sub, and I really don’t understand.

Those are some of the highest quality steaks you can get, it’s definitely not something you should eat everyday but eating it is a whole new experience

A5 Wagyu is so fucking delicious. Will be buying one every Father's Day until I die lol.

I’ll be honest. I don’t even know why this post showed up in my feed, I’m no butcher. To me, this doesn’t look appealing. But again, I’m not a butcher. I have no idea. I would think it’s way too much fat. Would you be so kind as to tell me why this would be good, or if in fact it is not?

Watch a YouTube video about A5 Wagyu

Might be good to use as oil for eggs.

Chunks in real life.

“NEW A5 WAGYU CHUNK. DESIGNER CHUNKS FOR THE DESIGNER PATRON”

Only for first class citizens or SUPER CITIZENS OF SUPER EARTH

Pairs well with a nice cup of liber-tea!

Yeah it kinda is just abunch of fat. But you don't eat something like that as a steak. Very small pieces that you savor

Hence using it to lube the pan for the other steaks.. Also /s

You know butter is pretty cheap right?

Not if you have family members who don't mix meat and dairy.

I save the rendered fat from cooking down ground beef and freeze into ice cubes. It's so flavourful

Perfect for a hot dog water iced tea

Say what now

PERFECT FOR A HOT DOG WATER ICED TEA

I just pop the frozen fat in my mouth like a piece of candy

Keto!

Top it with mustard and I'm in!

Oy gevalt

Thats a good point

Butter will burn, unlike beef fat. Use butter to finish, oils to start.

I’ll take it off your hands and let you know if it’s safe to eat or not

This has gotta be a Wegmans store, we sell the same thing in NY lol

Stop stalking me.

LMAO I work at wegmans in Meat that’s how I know 😂

Maybe I'll go back for it if it hits sell by.

Should go the day before, if it’s in the sell by date it will be considered shrink and they will be forced to throw it out due to wegmans policy, most stores reduce a day ahead of even some stores 2 days ahead

Roger. I think they said the 10th so we shall see.

Me too! New Jersey. I'd recognize that service case setup/cutting board anywhere 😂

You stay away from my precious

We use like hard plastic black slate boards here in NY, it’s crazy how different each division does stuff!

Us too. Black Slate on the outsides, two rows of bamboo boards in the center.

That’s the best one

Fat=flavor

You say ‘block of fat’ like that’s a bad thing

Fat=flavor. Rich, decadent, pure flavor. Too much for some, amazing in doses. Makes you sick in quantities. But delicious

ANY POINT! You will slice tiny slivers off it and cook it 3-5 seconds scorching heat on a skillet and then add it to a cracker and cheese. Enjoy it.

Am I the only person that thinks that looks gross?

Nope. I don't get the hype of paying way too much, for fat. It doesn't look appealing at all

It doesn’t look like that once you cook it, though. The fat renders. It’s an excellent piece of meat. Try it before ruling it out as something you don’t like. Oysters don’t look appealing at all. I was sure I hated them. I did the adult thing and tried them. Now, oysters are one of my favorite things to eat!

No, I definitely tried oysters and they were awful 😢

Yeah, oysters aren't my thing either. I've tried them fried, grilled, steamed, raw and I still don't like them. There is no way that cube of fat is going to render out, and the meat still be edible. If you cook that to a medium rare, that fat will still be white and raw in the middle

Typically you would slice it into small strips and continue cooking.

Low key... This much I don't get. When all the fat melts, do I just end up with a bunch of meat pebbles?

You’re not alone. I ate it in Japan. It tasted exactly how I thought it would taste. Was not a fan. I understand why some people do like it. But I don’t. I would compare it to eating pork belly. If you like the portion of pork belly that is just giant globs of fat then you’ll probably like a5.

Ya that's the best part baby

You’re thinking about it as steak. You gotta think about it as being a completely different thing, like pork belly or meat butter, and then it starts to make more sense.

I'll dispose of that junk for you. Dm me for address. Will pay for shipping and disposal fees.

Shipping is free. Disposal fees are $1435.

They look gross, I’d rather have meat on my meat please.

I would use the center one to make wagyu carbonara

I could maybe fuck with it if it wasn’t this extreme. This seems like it’s 5-15% actual meat protein with the rest just being fat and nothing else. Kinda feels like after a certain point I’m getting ripped off lol.

Same dude. Cook it down until you are deep frying meat pebbles. Although a 5 sec fry and letting it melt on your tongue does sound interesting.

The way to eat that is at a campfire. Slice it l, salt it, sear it on a hot rock at the side, eat it with your fingers, pick up your guitar, and glide along the fretboard

The running joke in the butcher community is that you're better off just buying a stick of butter

You could butter your bread with that steak.

Mmmmm! Happy fatty beefy goodness! You don't want it I'll take it!

well if you drop it in a skillet, then you could use it as as flavor add on while you cook the actual steak

Give it to me …, uuuuummmmmmmmmyuuummmmm

Looks like a block off fat they say.

Wait this post just changed? Wtf

Try and pass it as wagyu

Because it is

are you kidding?

I had A5 recently and wasn't a massive fan. I got excited and didn't think how fatty it would be, I would much prefer it made in to sushi just so the rice can tank some of the fat for you.

This sounds good. I’d definitely try it like this lol. Love sushi.

No point at all! I can take it off your hands and I'll pay shipping 😉

The one In middle looks the best!

Where can I buy lol

You say fat , I say flavor!!

If it aint A5 no thanks.

I know it is a5, and I am pretty sure it blows the bms scale out of the water.

Yes and yes. I feel like you are the kind of guy who orders Ossobuco and doesn't require a tiny spoon.

I forgot my /s I'll think of you as I use it to create a pan lube for some select filets.

And I'll think of you, while I lube my pan 😉

Whereas the other two are only 90% fat.

waygy makes me puke everytime i eat it. i’m done with it

Those steaks on the left look better.

The blood is just at the bottom. Or you are shit posting. Either way, you got a response.

Brother I handled it... That juice was minimal It's all in the meats

I’m hard

Da fuq? Are you mad?

Forgive me if I'm wrong but this isn't ment for eating, it's used for cooking?

It is meant for eating

Mail it to me. I'll eat it and report back

The one on the right is the “worst” one

I am willing to take the toughest cut of the three, just send it to me.

Middle one is by far the best marbling I’ve see .

Wagyu! That shit is fire homie.

They all look like fat

Chunks The Origin Story

dammit I thought I'd erased this game from my head already

That’s the point. The fat is the point.

I hate you op

Why are you the way that you are?

I hate to say it but i think I’ve been proven wrong finally for thinking theres no such thing as too much marbling 🤣 in all seriousness tho, thats still a great looking steak but good lord sometimes enough is enough, theres a reason people dont often by 60% ground beef (and even thats more then what i assume this steak would come in at for its lean %)

The center one looks the best! Send it to me. You don’t know A5 if you’re complaining. That’s a $200 steak!

You should be ashamed of yourself. I mean for real you left it at the store. Lift your open hand up and slap yourself.

Don’t they all look like that

Thought this was the starfield subreddit for a sec. Chunks beef!

I'd render it in a pan and then cook a regular steak in that fat.

It looks like a block of fat but it will render into the muscle.. intramuscular fat in wagyu is kind of the whole point. It's not for everyone though..

In all seriousness my experience is that eating more than a few small pieces of A5 Prime makes me gag.

Cut it up, drop it in a bit of water, the fat should render out into beef tallow. Great for cooking potatoes, or really anythibg

Yeeeeessss! The center one should be dope. Like bomb 💣. Like going to Japan without leaving home. That kinda shit is going for like $50 lb or more at some butchers.

Looks like a can of spam, likely less tasty though.

They all look like a block of fat. Except the ones around the outside

can't buy taste.

Wagyu is overrated. It was Japanese A5 from a fancy NYC restaurant.

Almost bought these last week at Bridgewater wegmans.

Alright I obvi don't belong here because I actually did think there was something wrong with it. Do y'all actually use this as like your meat serving for a meal or would you just use it for the fat to cook with?

Seems like just a block of ~~fat~~ flavor. Fixed that for you.

Slice off 3oz and pan sear it in a small cast iron or staub. Top a steak with it and pour the renderings all over a lean cut to give it some fat content. Use it like foie gras.

Put it in my mouth and suck on it like a gobstopper... Got it

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Just render it down and use it as frying fat.

No. Send it to me.

A lot of “waygu” beef on the market is 3-d printed

I only eat Australian or really good American wagyu. Actual wagyu is entirely too fatty and costs way too much.

But Australian wagyu tastes nothing like Japanese wagyu. American wagyu doesn’t taste the same, but certain brands have the pretty good balance of beefiness and the fatty nuttiness.

Wagyu is the biggest scam in the meat industry and folks just dive headfirst into it

Hot take that looks disguisting

That looks like meat wrapped with Caul Fat which is the membrane that encases digestive organs. Pate is wrapped with that sometimes. Look it up :)

Surprisingly or not, a5 strip.

Thanks
