Pan-seared Wagyu, fleur de sel
Wagyū sutēkiThe purest way to enjoy exceptional Wagyu
00:00The secret to Wagyu lies in three things: the right heat, measured salt, and proper resting.
00:25The fillet is taken out of the fridge thirty minutes before cooking. Blot it thoroughly — a wet steak won't brown.
00:50Salt and pepper, on both sides. No marinade can improve a Wagyu: it would mask its marbling.
01:15The cast iron pan is smoking. That's the condition. The fillet is placed, do not touch for ninety seconds.
01:55Flip. Butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary. Baste continuously for one minute thirty, until the butter turns hazelnut brown.
02:35Five minutes of resting on a warm plate. The neglected pause is what separates a successful steak from a perfect steak.
The best recipes are often the simplest. This pan-seared Wagyu steak allows the full marbling and natural umami of the beef to express themselves. Salt, pepper, butter, garlic, and fresh herbs — nothing else, and it's perfect.
