JAPANESE WAGYU FLANK STEAK KAGOSHIMA A5+ BMS 12

The flank steak from Japanese Wagyu from Kagoshima is a cut with real character. It comes from the lower part of the cow and naturally has a coarse grain, but thanks to its exceptionally high marbling, this typically firm cut becomes incredibly tender. With an A5+ rating and a BMS of 12, you're looking at the pinnacle of what Japanese Wagyu has to offer. The fat slowly melts through the meat during cooking, resulting in a rich, full flavor and a melt-in-the-mouth texture you won’t soon forget.

WHAT IS A FLANK STEAK?

Flank steak is cut from the abdominal muscles of the cow and is long and flat in shape. The meat has a clearly visible grain, which means you should always slice it against the grain after cooking. Normally, flank steak has a bit more bite, but with Wagyu, that completely changes. Thanks to the fine marbling, the meat becomes tender and juicy even after a quick cook. Sear it hot and fast, let it rest, and slice thinly. A cut that’s all about simplicity and quality.

JAPANESE BLACK KAGOSHIMA A5+ BMS 12

This flank steak comes from Japanese Black Wagyu cattle raised in Kagoshima, one of Japan’s most renowned Wagyu regions. The animals are raised in peace, fed a carefully balanced diet, and never given hormones or unnecessary additives. Only the very best cattle—those that score top marks for marbling, texture, color, and flavor—receive the A5 rating. With a BMS of 12, this meat is marbled to the core. The result is a deep, rich flavor and a texture that practically melts in your mouth, without losing its bold character.

How to Cook WAGYU Steak

- Plan ahead: Thaw the meat a day in advance (or an hour in cold water) and remove it from the refrigerator 2 hours prior to cooking to bring it to room temperature.

- Preheat the pan to maximum heat without oil or fat; Wagyu has enough fat on its own to develop a beautiful crust.

- Season the steak halfway through cooking or afterward with salt; adding pepper or other spices is not recommended.

- Cook the steak on the first side following the timing chart below. Flipping earlier is fine if you prefer a less pronounced crust.

- Measure the internal temperature. Use the temperatures in the chart. Wagyu is best enjoyed medium rare at 53-55°C.

- Rest: Let the steak rest for 5 minutes under aluminum foil for additional carryover cooking (Wagyu can be served slightly more cooked).
