A Guide to
Exceptional Steak
Grass-Fed or Grain-Fed?
-
Grass-fed beef is naturally leaner, with a clean, distinctive flavour that reflects the environment in which the cattle are raised.
-
Grain-fed beef generally develops greater marbling, creating a richer flavour, enhanced tenderness and a beautifully buttery eating experience.
Wet-Aged or Dry-Aged?
-
Wet-ageing is the most common method of ageing beef, improving tenderness while preserving the meat's natural characteristics.
-
Dry-ageing happens in a specialised, carefully controlled environment where moisture gradually evaporates and natural enzymes improve tenderness. This process concentrates flavour, creating a deeper, more complex eating experience with distinctive nutty characteristics.
Marbling
Marbling refers to the fine streaks of intramuscular fat distributed throughout the muscle. Influenced by factors such as breed, feeding program and age, marbling contributes to the flavour, juiciness and tenderness of beef.
In Australia, marbling is commonly assessed using scores from 0 to 9+, with higher scores generally indicating greater richness, tenderness and a more luxurious eating experience.
The Wagyu Difference
Wagyu is renowned for its exceptional marbling, delicate texture and rich, buttery flavour. Its distinctive genetics allow it to develop high levels of intramuscular fat, creating extraordinary tenderness and the luxurious eating experience for which Wagyu is celebrated.
