A5 wagyu steak

Prep 25m Cook 6m Total 31m medium
beefsteakpan-seared

Method

  1. 1
    Bring the steak to room temperature. 20m
  2. 2
    Pat dry and salt lightly.
  3. 3
    Heat a dry heavy skillet until just smoking. No oil: the fat cap renders.
  4. 4
    For medium-rare, sear in stages: side 1, side 2, then stand the steak on its fat cap and each edge.
    Stages: side 1 80s → side 2 65s → fat cap 10s › edge 2 5s › edge 3 5s → rest 2m
  5. 5
    For medium instead:
    Stages: side 1 90s → side 2 80s → fat cap 10s › edge 2 5s › edge 3 5s → rest 150s
  6. 6
    Slice against the grain and finish with flaky salt.

The stage timings are the presets from the standalone wagyu timer.

Do a sound check on the stage timer before the pan is hot: the alarm rings until you tap, so make sure you can hear it.
