Is it worth it? Wagyu Steak Taste Test - WalMart Marketside Beef

The big question you all have is WalMart Marketside Wagyu Steak worth buying and trying? That is what I experiment with in this video with a Wagyu taste taste! Honestly, I was very impressed with this cut of beef. It is not comparable to real purebred Japanese Wagyu as these are American raised Wagyu cattle that typically are bred with Angus cattle. However, the cut is very nice as it is trimmed, tender, and by far one of the juiciest steaks I've ever eaten. Additionally I show you how to cook a Wagyu steak medium similar to what I learned from watching videos of professional chefs cooking legit Wagyu. If you try this steak, let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
The steak I used was about 3/4 of an inch thick. Results very slightly for different thicknesses.
Directions:
1. Set Wagyu beef on counter to warm for 30 minutes
2. Pat dry steak with paper towels and season one side with coarse salt and pepper
3. Cut steak into two pieces to fit under cooking bowel (you can also use a pan lid but it won't be exactly the same results)
3. Heat up frying pan to medium high heat
4. Place beef on frying pan and cover with metal bowel; cook for 1 minute
5. Flip steak and cook covered again for 1 minute.
6. Remove steak from pan and cover with tinfoil; rest steak for 5-8 minutes.
7. Cut into small pieces and enjoy!

I had one and it's fantastic. I don't suggest trying it though, when you go back to regular steak it's disappointing.

[@AshitakaYakul]

I bought one and damn, it was amazing. Get one if you can!

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

Pretty good cut of beef from Wal-Mart! It's similar to a prime in quality and not a bad price. Glad you liked it!

[@rxckixss9340]

Loved the video buddy. But gotta ask why only one side seasoned?

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

That was because these steaks were so thin. If they were thicker I'd do both sides.

[@rxckixss9340]

@@savorwithdmurph1113 cheers dude. Thanks for the reply. Actually cooked a wagyu for the mom for Mother’s Day and I really just didn’t like it 😅

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

@@rxckixss9340 what was it that you didn't like about it? I've had a few wagyu that tasted just like regular steak and I wasn't happy with that. Tried some the other weekend that were more expensive then this and thought they were just ok.

[@rxckixss9340]

@@savorwithdmurph1113 just had a weird buttery taste in every bite that I tend to not have in my regular angus steaks. Maybe it was just the one I got, but who knows lol. Was hoping for better though to be honest haha

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

Yup that’s a Wagyu for you. Really fatty and buttery. They’re supposed to have a really beefy flavor too. Not for everybody. You might like a prime cut better than wagyu. They have nice marbling but won’t be as buttery as a wagyu.

[@Robert25938]

Looks medium rare to me! Congratulations! Will definitely try it out.

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

Thank you Robert! Let me know what you think of the American Wagyu! It's a fun steak to try out.

[@priyafelcia]

It was soooo delicious 😋 I highly recommend it.

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

Thank you 😋

[@mAKtre47]

I think its actually from Australia, says on the package

[@hugboat808]

Overcooked. Cook on medium high for 45-50 seconds on each side. No cover.

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

That's the Japanese chef flat top technique, saw it in a video where a lady was ordering a $200 steak.

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

i got the ribeye the other day, it was amazing. im hearing the ribeye is way better than that n/y strip but im about to see what you say as i watch the video. glad you liked it. i did my own video on youtube for the ribeye, check it out if you have not tried that yet.

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

Share the link and I'll give it a like! These were a pleasant surprise =)

The wagyu burgers are great too! Noticeably better then regular burgers.

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

Totally agree! I've made quite a few of those. They were like $5 a pound last I bought them so pretty affordable too.

[@smoklahoma4735]

I had the american wagyu ribeye for 19 something and seared in a cast iron on both sides and put some kerrygold butter and rosemary along with grillmaster montreal season and it was honestly 10 times better than a usda certified

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

That sounds epic! A lot of folks doubt the wal-mart wagyu and it really is a level above. I was shocked when I had my first bite lol!

[@sthrnvoice3198]

So I’m ignorant, is the market side wagyu not USDA certified?

[@jonathannagela2130]

No. why pay usda to grade a steak thats clearly above prime.

[@hectorsoso2406]

Lol he didn’t even get through 1 full chew and already said wow 😂

[@TheeEgyptianQueen]

Never heard of covering a waygu or salting just one side....but if it turns out amazing, that's cool too.

[@sgtslotter8634]

Covering works great for chicken breast as well. You should always season both sides of a steak though. Walmart wagyu is more gimmick than anything but it is a tasty gimmick lol. If you want to try the real deal look up guga foods on youtube and try his supplier. That's a real party in your mouth!

[@aayoub1]

Tried the rib eye from Walmart and it was delicious.

[@kavithakathiresan5289]

Is this your profession??...I mean r u a full time youtuber...or making videos just for fun???

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

I am a full time marketer as a profession, but I do KZbin on the side as a hobby. It does pay for itself as in it makes enough money to pay for the food and tools (camera, software, etc.).

[@Soulself]

Nice!

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

Thank you! Haha I had to try it. Cheers!

[@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr]

I mentioned wagyu steaks from Walmart on a random kitchen nightmares clip on KZbin and I still get responses from people who insult me for mentioning it. None of them have ever tried wagyu or Walmart wagyu, but they all think I'm barking mad for saying these steaks are good. I noticed they are all far left politically. Marxists hate Walmart.

[@sthrnvoice3198]

Hmmm, I would’ve thought the opposite. I’m highly conservative and I detest Walmart… I’m open to Wagyu beef. I just don’t trust Walmart as far as I can throw them…

[@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr]

@@sthrnvoice3198 Try it before you dump on it. 9 out of 10 of these wagyu steaks are good.

[@wallyj2000]

Stay away from it really no beef flavor and pretty oily/greasy tried the ribeye and also the New York strip. Although the ground beef is really really good highly recommend that but not the steaks don't waste your money or your time

[@metasin6]

Stop pretending😂 it’s a decent steak. Sounds so entitled like you deserve top shelf all the time.

[@nobs8708]

Authentic wagyu has very little beefy flavor.

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

That’s interesting to hear. Thanks no BS for bringing the facts! I’ve just had American Wagyu. What has been your experience with authentic?

[@ElteeMullet]

First big missed step was not salting the whole thing then letting it sit in fridge for 24hours. Next miss step is having such low grilling skills your worried about flair ups. I sear and smoke these on my gravity series and its worlds better than anything pan can here can accomplish.

[@savorwithdmurph1113]

Yeah, I really don't know what I'm doing... I've had flames EXPLODE out of my grill from Wagyu style beef. If you use indirect heat it can be done. Chill bro and comb your mullet.

[@DarkRose658]

Your spelling is MISSED.
