Cooking Instructions

1

Preparing the Wagyu

Take the Westholme Wagyu Gyutoro out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 1 hour before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

2

Seasoning

Generously season the Wagyu beef with sea salt and black pepper on all sides.

3

Searing the Beef

Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned Wagyu and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until a nice crust forms.

4

Adding Aromatics

Add garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Continue to cook the beef, spooning the aromatic oil over the meat for an additional 2-3 minutes.

5

Basting with Butter

Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt and baste the Wagyu for another 2-3 minutes to enhance the flavor.

6

Resting

Remove the Wagyu from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.

7

Slicing and Serving

Slice the Gyutoro against the grain and serve on a warm plate, drizzled with the pan juices.
