A Guide to Exceptional Steak
Grass Fed or Grain Fed?
- Grass-fed beef is naturally leaner, with a clean and mild flavour.
- Grain-fed beef offers greater marbling, a richer flavour and a softer, more luxurious texture.
Wet Aged or Dry Aged?
- Wet ageing primarily improves tenderness and is the most common method of ageing beef.
- Dry ageing allows moisture to evaporate and flavours to concentrate in a carefully controlled environment. The result is exceptional tenderness with a deeper, more complex flavour.
What Is Marbling?
Marbling refers to the fine streaks of fat found within the muscle. It is influenced by the breed, feed and age of the animal and contributes significantly to flavour, juiciness and tenderness.
Australian marbling is graded from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicating a richer eating experience.
What Makes Wagyu Different?
Wagyu is renowned for its exceptional marbling, fine texture and rich, buttery flavour. Its unique genetics allow the beef to develop high levels of intramuscular fat, creating its unmistakably luxurious mouthfeel.
