Try not to be jealous, but The Bearded Butchers are going to cut, cook, and compare Wagyu Beef. American Wagyu is simply Wagyu genetics married to American beef genetics. A5 is 100% Japanese beef. Because of the American/Japanese marriage, American Wagyu has some different characteristics compared to A5, let's see if they taste different. The 5 senses are all here; 1) Sight 2) Sound (Sizzle) 3) Smell 4) Taste (Umami) and 5) Texture
Check out all of our seasonings at bit.ly/3o9BqS7
There's ton's more information about Wagyu beef and how it's different than American beef here in this other video: • Wagyu Beef and Kobe Be...
Some differences of note:
- A5 Wagyu fat melting temperature: 75-77 F
- American Wagyu fat melting temperature: 86-104 F
- Wagyu beef is loaded with "Umami" or savoriness. In a sense, it's like MSG because the taste of Umami is attributed to glutamate (the "G" in MSG). But no, Wagyu does NOT have MSG.
Index:
4:18 - Cutting the A5 Wagyu ribeyes.
5:47 - Cutting the American Wagyu ribeyes.
8:37 - Time to grill up the Wagyu ribeyes.

American wagyu takes 1 1/2 to 2 years to raise the beef to slaughter Wagyu took 4 years to allow the marbling to develop properly.

In all honesty, there needs to either be a different name for the American blend, or it needs to stop being called Wagyu, because it’s not Wagyu. Not only are those butchered waaaay earlier than the real ones, but the meat is completely different.

My family and I visited your store a few weeks ago and we wanted to bring along our Brazilian friends. He is a true carnivore and I knew he would appreciate a fine cut of meat. I had the opportunity to visit Brazil a few years ago and of course he treated us to a visit to one of their Brazilian steakhouses. It was an unbelievable experience. So in return I was hoping that you might have some A5 Wagyu that I could buy to treat my friends with. As luck would have it there was an A5 ribeye, the only one I might add, that I was able to purchase. I grilled it that night and it was shared among about 6 of my family members, and of course my Brazilian friends. It was such a wonderful experience and the flavor was out of this world! Thank you for this unforgettable experience. Looking forward to our next trip to your store!

I was invited to a dinner party years ago at a restaurant in NYC which served A5 Wagyu steaks! I didn’t know about the background of the Japanese beef. I had never eaten at a “high end” restaurant before. It was incredible as it melted in my mouth and the flavors were indiscribable The steak was 5 ounces or as the menu said 140 grams. The only additives was salt and butter. When I was told the cost it blew my mind! They served 15 grams of caviar from Russia with cream cheese on very thin rice crackers with Mother of Pearl spoons. Thank goodness I didn’t have to pay the bill! It was a memorable event I will never forget! Have tried two different American Wagyu brands! While the American Wagyu is great it isn’t the real thing, but then the cost is much much lower. Guess I will have to suffer with JUST normal American beef! Thanks for a great show that brought back tasty memories! Love your skills, personalities and openness!

That was awesome and very discriptive guys! - That grille/firepit is awesome. How would you rate this "hot plate" method of griddling the beef - would it be as good for a thicker cut - I'm thinking not, as the inside would need to catch up with the outside.

@CulinaryLifeFarm Жыл бұрын

There are two big reasons Japanese raised beef is much more marbled than wagyu cattle raised outside of Japen. The first is that they not slaughtered until they are at least 3 years old. Optimal age is between 3 and 5 years of age. This allows the animal to reach full size and put on marbling instead of muscle. You can see the size difference in the cuts to verify this. The second reason they are so well marbled is that they are kept mostly indoors with stations that allow them to eat a blend of grains and silage that is ground fine so that the animals can digest it better. Their diet has a high grain content which helps add fat easily. Even though these animals may have the same genetics as the animals in Japan, they are raised completely differently and that is the biggest contributing factor to the differences in the meat.

Great video. I appreciate the discussion on the American Wagyu vs Japanese A5. Would you someday in the future compare an American raised 100% (full blood wagyu) to an A5 Japanese Wagyu? There are full blood wagyu breeders in the US. Unfortunately there aren't currently any limitations/laws as to what can be labeled Wagyu in the US. If it has a tiny bit of Wagyu it can still be called wagyu just like one that is 50/50, 75, or 100. This can cause confusion and I think these caveats should be discussed at some point if not already covered in other videos. Might also be an interesting to see a 100% wagyu ranch in a video. At any rate thanks for the great content and its very entertaining and informative.

Did it a couple of years ago. Lasted only minutes before it was gone. Fortunately, I also had another regular ol’ american prime rib as a back up, which didn’t get entirely consumed. I guess it was a big let down after the A5. Best Christmas dinner ever.

Obviously, y'all sell seasoning, so I realize it's to be expected, that it's used, but if I spend that kind of money on a steak, I better not have to season it. My grandpa always told me, when I was young, "if you have to season a steak, then it's not very good meat." Then again, he was raised during the Depression, so he had a simple, not extravagant mindset, about everything. I really need one of those fire pits.

@kylefitzherbert9381 Жыл бұрын

Agree to a certain extent. Some people like certain flavors though. Personally a simple salt and pepper is all a steak should need but everyones different.

Very cool video. Japanese chef in Tokyo taught me that a crust is not the required end result. Ponzo sauce also is the right condiment for A5 for the acidity to cut through the fattiness, maybe some white pepper. Arigato

Both products are great for different uses. I usually serve 100-200g of A5 (I can purchase in San Diego), and closer to 12-16oz of American wagyu.

The wagyu beef has a special gene that allows it to have double fat... marbling that cause the beef to look slightly pink. Wagyu beef is also split into different regions. Most people would be familiar with kobe beef.

I was just in your store, Whitefeather Meats. I purchased one of your premium aged strip steaks. I also purchased an A5 Wagyu ribeye. I cooked the strip to medium rare, used your butter blend and black seasonings, and have to say I was underwhelmed. I have had better ten day aged prime Angus cooked at home. I tried to enquire at the counter how many days "premium aged" meant but all I kept getting is, "we age all of our meat at least ten days." I do not know if your staff member did know how long the steaks are aged or if he has been instructed not to tell the public as you see your process as proprietary. As I am sure you well know there is a big difference between a ten day aged steak and a 45 day aged steak. In response to the question if the meat is dry aged or wet aged the response was, "I am pretty sure it is wet aged." I have not cooked the A5 yet. I drove over an hour to your shop to see if it was worth the trip. I bought nearly $300 worth of meat and hopefully the rest is better than the strip I just made. I expected a butcher shop and got a store full of coolers. I went on the recommendation of someone else. I do appreciate you having other meat options than the typical fare that most shops will carry. I am not sure if that is enough to draw me back for a second trip. I will have to watch some of your videos now that I found you on here.

My husband said there are TWO ways to kill a beef. The first time is with a bullet. The second time is in the skillet. Be sure to BABYSIT the beef. I know a lot of people who don't know how to cook Wagyu especially if it has the AA type of fat.

In comparison, how we Americans cook our steaks, vs how the Japanese cook their steaks, is completely different, especially when it comes to the quality that an A5 grade provides. In most cases, the Japanese slice theirs paper thin and cook them with the slightest touch of a kitchen torch, for just a touch of color and somewhat of a smokey flavor. Our version of a med rare- med would be unheard of when it comes to their standards. I have tried A5 both ways and have to say; I enjoy mine over extremely hot fire, and literally, cooked for no more than 1.5 mins per side. Freaken outstanding!
