I bought an A5 Japanese real waygu steak from Sam's Club for $99, pretty much the same thing we see here -- To say I was excited for this was an understatement, but I was absolutely gutted to find out it tasted like crap lol I felt so confused and angry. I cooked it correctly, after watching hours of videos to practice it, I was dead on with the cook but it was rubbery and tasted like chewy gristle with a bacon-beef flavor. I gave the rest to my foodie coworker and he had the same experience. We're still haunted by the expectation-to-reality shock. Only two things that make sense is 1) we were sold fake A5, at a corporate level, or 2) we are both fake foodie wannabes with a crap palate.

[@noah7624]

​@@jgizzy Not to say that you cooked it incorrectly, but watching videos does not equate to actual skill, so you likely did incorrectly cook it if you have never cooked steak before or just a few times. For instance, watching Michael Jordan play basketball may help your understanding and knowledge of the game, but your skill within it remains just as bad.

[@EXRDaBeasta]

​​​​@@noah7624Cooking meat is pretty easy and yes watching videos does go a long way. Can't compare cooking vs sports. 1 requires many years of training and natural talent, the other in some circumstances, can be perfectly replicated because the ingredients and the time are the stars of the show, not you. I'm sure he did do it right because I've had Wagyu at a restaurant where obviously the chef knew how to prepare it and I was extremely disappointed with how it tasted vs its cost. It's one of those products where you are simply paying for the namesake, not the quality. Lots of people outside of the realm of youtube will tell you it isn't that great at all, and other cuts of meat are significantly better and cheaper.

[@LudiCrust.]

That’s so true. I was stationed in Japan & experienced it firsthand. Japanese steaks are just so damn good & taste different enough from US steaks that it makes them more desirable to Americans used to eating top of the line US beef. On the flip side they thirst for our top shelf steaks so I can see why they like them so much. The best steak I’ve ever had in my life was at a steak house in Austin Texas when I was visiting family but Japanese steaks are just as good. I’d put Korea at #3 & no other country I’ve been come close to those 3. Obviously Europe has high quality steak but to my tastebuds they lack the richness of the other 3.

The cast iron sear increased the internal temp and acted as a 2nd cook. A torch or open flame would have been hot enough to put a crust on without leaving the heat on so long that it recooks the steak. Or cooking it to a temp lower than your final target would have been an option too.

[@Wintershot]

So many people in the comments are chiming in about how the steak was cooked incorrectly. Wagyu x5+, cooked medium-rare, should be cooked to about 5 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than a normal steak. It does not need to be salted before cooking due to its extremely high fat content and low moisture content. (In this video it was cooked sous vide so the point is moot anyway.) He seasoned the steak after cooking it. It should be cooked from chilled or frozen, due to the extremely low melting point of the fat. Throwing a room-temperature Wagyu x5+ steak into a hot pan will leave you with a puddle of fat and a dry steak. Most Japanese chefs will cook a Wagyu steak sous vide. It allows for the fat to gently melt and then re-absorb.

[@photogami]

finally some facts!

[@YoungCorruption]

He boiled the meat though. Where did you see him vacuum seal the bag? You can't call it sous vide without vacuum sealing the meat

[@leechrec]

​@@YoungCorruptionno he didn't... Did you not see him put the steak in the plastic bag? 135 degrees is not boiling it...

​@@YoungCorruptionand sous vide does not require vacuum sealed bags. What he did was he used the water displacement method to get rid of the air when he put it in the water. He sealed 80% of the bag, put it in the water, pushed it down to remove the air, and sealed the rest of the zipper. I stopped using a vacuum sealer a long time ago since it's a pita, and the displacement method works just as well, and doesn't over evacuate the air

@@jameshardensfatsuit5726 No where in your comment did you describe how he ruined it... Also, I didn't say it was done solely for temperature. It prevents people from accidentally over cooking, since the difference between medium rare and medium in terms of cooking time is not a whole lot and varies based on the size and cut of meat. Even with a thermometer people mess it up. With a sous vide, you remove those factors and can guarantee the right doneness and can just focus on seasoning and searing.

@@penteractgaming I’ve eaten plenty of it. I do agree, it all depends on who’s eating it. I eat a lot, and love eating it as a normal American style steak. I lived in Japan for 4 years and would always go to the local butcher to get A5, but I don’t disagree, it is very filling compared to a normal steak.
