I just wonder - why most farmes do not raise wagyu breed of cattle? Since it is so good and expensive to sell? I mean it can not be much of difference to feed wagyu cattle instead normal angus or other catlle breeds. That way it could be also cheap, since it would not be so rare.

[@Spazik86]

@Miguel Angel Yea doing it japan way yes, but even feeding wagyu breed lowcost way should produce better results than stanrad cattle breeds.

[@andrewr2650]

I could see in the first cut the difference in how Seths knife went through the A5 vrs all the other steaks I’ve seen him cut in these videos. It briefly made my wonder if I have spent too much time watching this channel. Had to go rewatch how to cut a beef, at which point I knew it was all time well spent.

Had the honor of trying A5 Wagyu before and I must say, it’s the pinnacle of all Steaks and Beef in general hands down. Nothing compares to the buttery richness and flavor of it. Highly recommend for any Steak lover to try at least once, likely won’t be the last. It’s almost hard to finish a ribeye by yourself cus of its richness so a family of 4 can enjoy together.

[@cableguyzne]

Watched this video a few months ago and finally ordered and received a Wagyu A5 from your link. Going to cook it up a few different ways as I don't have an egg-grill. Flat-Iron & Traeger is what we have. Our Son is home on leave for his 21st Birthday so this will be one hell of a dinner! I'm only nervous about cutting the steaks; not cooking!

[@rosemarydudley9954]

I once saw a video of how these cows/steers are reared. As far as I remember they are regularly bathed and actually get fed with actual milk. This helps to keep the colour of the meat pale. I've never eaten it because I cannot afford it! You make it look sooooooooooo mmmmm.

I agree, it’s the best, but like everyone, including yourselves, say, its super rich. I think I would prefer the Australian approach, where it’s half as rich, for about forty percent of the money. That’s still twice as rich as a US Prime cut of beef. I would want a sit down steak dinner with a nice twelve to fourteen ounce steak, baked potato, home made roll and salad. I really don’t mind the act of chewing, especially a great piece of perfectly cooked steak!

[@michaelsanchez2417]

I've had the Australian as well as the super rich A5 from Japan, spent $250 once on a single Miyazakigyu ribeye. But trying the best of the best, if only once, is truly incredible. Actually some pretty good American pureblood Wagyu out there too. cheers

[@kennybushway7446]

Your experience shows, same size cut every time. Its real cool. When I cut steaks at home I always look good on the top but they bottoms are usually either way to fat or to thin and that is no matter how steady I try to keep my hand or how slow I cut. Love the channel, thanks for all the great content.

[@1982MCI]

Sharp knife first off Kenny. Let your knife do the work and do not push down on the meat at all! That’s what’s causing the bottoms to turn out fat and skinny. As you apply any pressure it causes the meat to move so you will end up with a big fat cut on one then the next one will be skinny cause half of the meat is on the previous cut resulting in a fat one. You can also place the meat in the freezer for 15-20 min prior to slicing and it will firm it up and make slicing much easier.
