We are firm supporters of buying the whole, uncut muscle, like in this amazing MS8 Ribeye. One of the main reasons is that it gives you more control over the final steak size – you can cut some steaks thinner, some thicker, morsels, or even cook as a whole roast. While there is simplicity in pre-cut steaks, there’s something very primitive and satisfying about carving your own rib eye.
Perhaps America’s favorite cut (eye-to-eye with the Strip), the Rib Eye is a steakhouse favorite, and at a whopping marble score 8, this Australian Wagyu Ribeye is a beaut. Marbling is the name for all that webbing of intramuscular fat that makes Wagyu beef so special. That fine riddling of fat melts as it cooks, rendering the meat sumptuously tender and superbly flavorful. It is absolutely laden with beefy flavor, in just indescribable heights of tenderness. It is rich, it is intense. It is not to be missed!
Our MS8 Wagyu Ribeye is sold whole to cut your own way. What does this mean? It means the entire 11 lbs of Ribeye is yours to portion.
A bit about Australian Wagyu Marbling Score rankings. This scale goes from 3 to 9 (with 3 representing the least and 9 the most), depending on the ratio of intramuscular fat within the cut and how evenly it’s distributed throughout the meat. At the lower end of the marble score you’ll find rich and flavorful steaks that are approachable and versatile, while the higher end Wagyu are truly very special, and rare. These are the steaks that you save for the most special of occasions, that you savor in small portions, with the most special people in your life.
Sourced from Broadleaf, our Wagyu strip loin comes from 100% heritage Wagyu cattle. Raised on the open pastures of the vast Australian countryside, small sustainable farms carefully raise these cattle using the same time-tested methods as those made famous in Japan. Raised free-range in the Australian Outback, our premium Wagyu cattle are never given antibiotics or hormones. The animals are finished on 300 days of a special formulation of grains for extra tenderness and richness.
Grilling advice: We suggest that you cook on a grill pan rather than an open flame, as that extra fat marbling on Wagyu beef will melt over the grill and may cause flare-ups. Grill to medium-rare.
Cutting details: Please note that not all steaks will be exactly the same size, and some steaks will be cut a bit thicker or a bit thinner, but we’ll try to keep it as close to what you requested as is possible. If there are any trimmings left over after the cutting process, of course those will be included as well.
