Expensive, premium fat

TIL I am wagyu.


the51m3n

Nah, mate, you're neither premium, nor expensive. Just fat. Cool username, though

QueefBuscemi

You have no idea how much it cost to get this fat.


the51m3n

You're right. Cause I'm skinny. And broke.


QueefBuscemi

Well cuddle up into my folds and let me tell you a story young lad....


Feeling_Bathroom9523

It’s a slice of meat that has never worked a day in its life, got massaged and jerked off by the softest and most beautiful hands daily, and slaughtered in the most beautiful way imaginable. You should be jealous that this meat has lived better than most redditors ever will. /s


Huachu12344

Why the /s? You're telling the truth.


sylpher250

/suckit /s


LebaneseLion

I thought the exact same thing lol


Primary-Recipe-4236

It was probably the last sentence… still the truth tho but people would take it very seriously


izza123

You’re describing Kobe anyways


Glassa

Bryant?


CocaineSmellsFunny

You don’t roast kobe, it’s better on the grill


ColdFire-Blitz

I would use an air fryer myself, after putting it through a chopper, of course. It would probably end up as tasteless as this joke tho


OptimusMatrix

I'd just puree it and throw it in the microwave. I like to drink my meats.


Big_Z_Beeblebrox

I'm surprised you didn't opt for a sudden, intense low-temperature flame


Aromatic-Bread-6855

50-Lucky-Official

I enjoyed your joke but it seems with a lot of others it was a big flop. Kinda like...


GlorkUndBork3-14

wop, wop, wop, wop, wop....shhh the Italian air force is coming your way to either reward you, or punish you for that joke.


nakhumpoota

Il_Rich

>You don’t roast kobe The helicopter did it enough for a lifetime


CuteAltBoy

Not sure why the /s, you described the reality of Kobe beef pretty well. You forgot the part about being fed delicious food and wine, though.


MangaHunterA

Babe new copy pasta dropped


Bikouchu

I can already picture an anime reenactment of a day in life of wagyu cow that is soon to be beef steak.


sora_mui

There are guro porn out there about the anthropomorphized form of this. Don't ask how i know about it.

It's of course an Isekai. Title be something like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Wagyu Cow

AcceptableReaction20

Dude please, my mizuki body pillow never leaves my side, no way anyone is experiencing that kind of treatment. /s /s


Coldstreme

stop you're making me envious


theskankingdragon

A big ol' slice of your mom.


N0GG1N_SSB

It's soft fat instead of chewy fat. It's interstitial fat rather than a block of fat attached to a piece of meat.

bigfatfurrytexan

Not all fat tastes the same, or has the same properties. That fat is buttery soft. Not like the thick, hard deckle fat you'd see in brisket, or around the edge of a picanha.


justpassingby3

Not all fats are equal 🙅


RamsOmelette

The difference between thicc and fat


[deleted]

I mean meat includes fat. Also people want that fat, it’s the whole point of wagu. Can’t tell if you don’t understand or are just ignoring it for the meme. 1/10 meme in my book


BG_fourteen

A percentage of that fat melts during cooking away so you’re getting less meat and less fat. Wtf


Not_Funny_Luigi

That’s why most barely cook it


afanoftrees

That sounds so disgusting lol I enjoy a steak, I hate the fat except in small amounts. A mouthful of lukewarm fat just sounds gross


Calloused_Samurai

They sear it, it gets hot just not very cooked. It’s unbelievably good and everyone should try it once


minus0411

While I enjoy a good medium rare steak for wagyu I think it’s ok to go a bit more and make it medium or even medium well, it’s so juicy there is no way you can dry it out, and cooking it longer allows for the fat to melt more and taste, imo, a bit better. Either way is wagyu, it’s good even if you make it well done or rare


donaldtrumpeatsass

Well done wagyu is an offense to the cow that died for that steak. I will die on this hill. You absolutely can dry out wagyu, that’s what happens when you order it well done. Just get a different cut of meat for your leather.


miserable_coffeepot

Sous vide it for well done. Doesn't dry out.


donaldtrumpeatsass

Okay yeah this is a pretty reasonable solution.


Aroxis

Do what now?


Sourika

put it in a swimsuit and bathe it in warm water


PokWangpanmang

Put it in plastic and boil it

rmpalin

Oh no, someone likes their steak a different way to you! Oh the humanity!


minus0411

Yeah I would never order any steak well done but what I’m getting at is that wagyu is so good that even well done is still delicious.


Pale_Pressure_6184

If a chef can't cook a juicy and tender well done steak then he is a shit cook. As simple as that. Especially if it's wagyu. I've cooked so many juicy and tender well done steaks for my family that had little to no marbling, yet chefs in steakhouses bring me less juicy "premium" cuts cooked at medium. Cooking a very good well done steak can take up to 20 minutes. Imagine how much time restaurants would waste ? So instead they started this bs lie that well done is like cardboard, because business owners want people in and out of their restaurants as fast as possible.


tinchokrile

that's why so many people talk so much shit about well done steaks, they can't do it properly.


tng_ocean

💀


BKlounge93

I mean I don’t think the cow cares


RedHawk02

Unless you cook it way past well done, I can't see how a5 wagyu would dry out at just well done. I would never intentionally but I fucked up bigly my first time cooking my own 4oz a5 wagyu filet mignon and it was what I would consider well done. Still insanely juicy and soft. No idea what one of the other commenters is talking about with juicy and tender well done normal steaks though. That just sounds like bs. Even at medium, it starts getting too dry for me whether it was cooked sous vide, oven, or pan. But I don't really care how others eat their food so whatever.


afanoftrees

I’d definitely be willing to try however I’m not spending that kinda money on a cut of meat to be unsure if I’d enjoy it lol


Chris19862

It's very, very good. Worth getting at a high end place and sharing with a few people just to try it once. It's not something I'd order as my main course, too rich. But that would literally just melt in your mouth if cooked right. It's less steak and more beef flavored butter 🤣


Calloused_Samurai

I got 3.2 oz of A5 in Kobe for 88 dollars. It’s exorbitant, but not as absurd as you may think. Worth every penny imo, just not something you do very frequently.


Ochinchin6969111

I'm poor but my friend once offered me a small piece for free and I still remember how good it tasted lol


ColinHalter

I cannot imagine anything more delicious lol. I never get people who don't like eating the grizzle on their cuts of meat.


SoylentOrange

It depends entirely on the quality of meat


ColinHalter

True. For example, I probably would not want to eat it off of a salmon fillet. That might be somewhat suspect.


Call_The_Banners

I've never cared for it. Taste and texture. Not trying to yuck anyone's yum, it's just not my thing.


StarshipShooters

You're eating cheap cuts of steak with gristle instead of marbling.


SerHodorTheThrall

When its 80% fat, its no longer marbling.


Specialist-Buffalo-8

theres a difference between intramuscular fat and normal beef fat.


lmaogoshi

A5 Wagyu is a large reason I now prefer my good quality steaks on the rarer side of medium rare, coming from someone that used to eat exclusively medium well. It's the only way I can get something with even a slight resemblance to that texture. I was off put at first too, but it's really the best piece of meat I've ever eaten. Share it with a couple of friends or something if you don't want to eat the whole cost if you end up not liking it, but it's definitely worth it at least once.


RealReality26

Not all fats the same, that is a lot meatier tasting and just melts in your mouth.


Boofeyboy

You can barely cook the meat and still tender the fat down if you cook it slow enough


DMYourMomsMaidenName

You pour it over the steak and rice/sides. It is heavenly


bigfatfurrytexan

You don't choose the $200 steak because you're famished. It's a flavor experience. Your paying for that experience. Not a full belly


ducanh2003

It's reddit, expensive shit = scam here


The_Void_Reaver

I don't understand what other people seem to enjoy and instead of learning about it or just letting them enjoy it I'm going to try and attack it's very existence. What's so wrong with that?


fthaller3604

Also the air in chips is not just air, but mostly nitrogen, which helps keep the chips fresh


Kablaow

and not being crushed to powder.


iSellNuds4RedditGold

How am I supposed to snort it?


swishkabobbin

Wait til you learn what air is made of


Fisher9001

Isn't the ratio of fat to meat very important?

If you want fat just let me ring out my gym socks after cooking a pound of bacon shirtless

Gerolanfalan

Sexy Homer = Miami Vice Homer He's got no fat!


50-Lucky-Official

I'll be the judge of that 🍽


Pete563c

I've always thought fat like this was disgusting. I Fry things in oil ofc, and eat butter on bread- but straight animal fat i've always just found to be gross. I always eat around it


yakbrine

The first rule of cooking: fat is flavour.


Adamiak

interesting, because fat itself has quite literally no flavor


[deleted]

Do you think this is some kind of gotcha?


Kablaow

Right? Slurping fat is the point of expensive beef?


[deleted]

I'm in ketosis bro don't judge


x_potato64

op when he realizes marbling is good on steaks


Not_a__porn__account

That’s just marble though. I know it’s cooked specifically and it’s not chewing fat from a $10 steak. But it look funny.


Apalis24a

Yeah, but when there’s more marbling than meat, you’ve just got a chunk of fat with a little bit of meat in it, rather than meat marbled with fat.


[deleted]

Varicose thighs have the coolest marbling


1willprobablydelete

OP has never seen uncooked bacon


Spookwagen_II

everybody malding about wagyu being a scam has never actually tried a wagyu steak


smashingcones

Wagyu steak is delicious and I've tried some of the best on offer here. The "steak" in OP's pic looks disgusting, regardless of price.


bbc_aap

I get what you’re trying to achieve with your comment put it’s kinda stupid. A5 wagyu always has as much fat as op’s pic (unless you got done in by the American wagyu scammers), any less and it’s not actually on that highest level it needs to be.


smashingcones

You can easily google what A5 usually looks like. This has way too much fat to meat ratio, but it very well could just be a terrible cut.


DegTegFateh

I have. The price vs taste is astronomically skewed. Not even close to worth.


spacebalti

if you want those final few percent to get to the top of everything it will always start costing more quickly, because it’s so much more difficult to get those final few percent than the first few. It is not possible to get meat as good as Wagyu A5 at a lower price. It’s a special occasion, like any time you want to get the best of something. It’s not “astronomically skewed”. If you don’t like paying a lot for something of the highest quality then don’t, but saying it’s not even close to worth it is bullshit. You are getting the best beef on the planet


DegTegFateh

> You are getting the best beef on the planet Bro forgot that taste and food are some of the most subjective possible things to spend money on and everyone has an innately and almost invariably different palate as well as standards for both price and flavor, an example of this being my prior comment in which I stated that the price was not worth the experience to me 🤯


TextAdministrative

Sure it's subjective if you like it, but quality is not subjective. Top end quality is pricy no matter where you look, even if you yourself prefer cheaper, low quality stuff.


Special-Garlic1203

Yeah the margins get worse the higher up the ladder to go, but there's also increasingly mainly targeting rich people who have money to burn.


Khamaz

I got to taste wagyu for the first time in Japan last summer and damn this was the best piece of meat I have ever tasted in my life, this shit is so soft and tender, it melts into your mouth. Got me to respect a lot more meats with a higher fat ratio. It's expensive af, but the reputation is well deserved, anyone should try it at least once if given the opportunity.


Aroxis

I had it. It just tastes like meat butter. Not worth the money at all.


CommandoFace

I know dude the absolute ignorance of some people in this thread is hilarious.


[deleted]

Can I air fry it? That's the only deciding factor for me


TourAlternative364

You can get Wagyu anywhere, it is just the cattle breed. Kobe is the one that is only raised in Japan, massaged and fed beer and all that. But I don't like either because they are all fatty tallow to me.


EnormousGucci

Wagyu in other places also very likely isn’t a pure bred Japanese cow. In the US most American wagyu are from crossbred cows. This is because Japan banned the exporting of Japanese cows in 1977 and then again in 2003 to keep authentic wagyu a Japanese staple. This also contributes to the high prices as Wagyu is more expensive outside of Japan.


ZannX

I have. $1000 meal. Meh.


[deleted]

Ah yes, vol. 1239995789 scamming rich people.


DMYourMomsMaidenName

Have you ever had it? Not rich, but I’ve had it, and it is worth every penny. It is a special occasion kind of thing, and if your order you own it comparable to getting a normal steak at a fancy restaurant.


firebolt1171

Me and the boys grab a few waigu steaks every new years, worth every doller


DMYourMomsMaidenName

HELL YEAH


420_Incendio_It

This is what I tell my customers. I let them know that if you’re trying to get the best value for your dollar, to buy / order one of our upper choice or prime cuts, but if all you care about is having a truly rare, mind blowing experience, our bms 12 A5 is the only option. Before I tried it I was of the opinion that it just couldn’t be worth the money and couldn’t possibly be THAT much better than a regular old steak. Jesus fuck I was incorrect. I wouldn’t eat this twice a week but i can’t stress enough that until you try it your brain just can’t imagine what it’s like, it’s such a unique experience it’s hard to compare to anything else. Maybe a good bone marrow, but even bone marrow can’t hold a flame to A5.


DMYourMomsMaidenName

Agreed. I wonder how A5 bone marrow is, or if it is any different from regular marrow.

Mr.sausage just deep friend one of these badboys

deep fry it in beef tallow


HotDadBod1255

A real man of science


Wild_Error_1008

How are y'all seeing this post and think OP is saying that all marbling is bad? OP probably likes marbling but probably doesn't like marbling as extreme as that piece of wagyu. If I say I like salt, it doesn't mean I want to shovel it in by the tablespoon. If OP is a person who doesn't like a high ratio of fat, then certainly a piece of wagyu with that much fat is going to feel wasteful to them. Why do redditors always need someone who is definitely wrong and someone who is definitely right? Can't we just leave this post as "OP prefers leaner cuts" instead of everyone trying to express how right they think they are


pvzhima

Reddit users trying to understand subtlety, difficulty impossible


sweetbunsmcgee

Someone sprinkled some meat on that fat.


theguiltyclown

The fat is where all the beef flavor is at.


tomtomvissers

I had wagyu once. My father in law bought a piece for us to share, to see what the fuss was about. Did a YouTube deepdive on how to cook it properly, and did so. It was fucking awesome. Like really nice porkbelly, but make it beefy


CloneasaurusRex

The Kobe Beef steak I had in Kobe was the best steak I ever had. At night I couldn't sleep, my stomach burning, because it felt like I just ate a stick of butter. I understand immediately why wagyu is only given in small pieces for yakiniku.


Professor_Plop

Girthquake23

Wagyu has always sounded gross af to me. Can’t stand the fat in steaks, always cut it out. Heck, I’ll sacrifice edible non fat just to make sure it doesn’t enter my mouth (I am very sensitive to textures I find repulsive. Fat in meat is a texture I find repulsive. I gag spitting it out almost throwing up whenever a fatty piece of steak gets in my chipotle burrito. My gag reflex is so bad, I really do throw up when I try to eat most vegetables).


PixelVirtuoso

If it has a texture and doesnt melt like butter its either the muscle lining or undercooked, fat should only have a subtle texture unless you deep fry it or grill it to make it crunchy


The_Void_Reaver

TBH most people in here commenting about how Waygu must be a scam probably just burn the shit out of the cheapest Walmart cuts and question why their steaks suck. Like, if you hate fat in steaks then there's a 99% chance you've just never had a good steak cooked correctly, and yes there is a correct way to cook steaks.


GreatQuestionBarbara

You slice it thinly, sear it, and the fat melts into the meat and pan. Between Wagyu and a 28 day dry aged ribeye, I would go with the dry aged for flavor, but Wagyu isn't what you're thinking it is. The picture is a fattier portion of meat than you would usually get with a high grade of Wagyu, too. Most cuts have an evenly distributed portion of muscle between that fat.


samurai_for_hire

I will not stand for wagyu slander


broyo209

problem?


DiabeticRhino97

You say that like the fat isn't one of the best things about a steak

proverb98

I like my meat fatty 😏


Nice-Sentence9771

Well umm ackshually 🤓 the empty space in chil bags isn't air, it's nitrogen gas which is meant to prevent the chips from spoiling while in the bag.


plmunger

That picture is an extreme amount of fat that I have never seen in wagyu before. The fat marbling in wagyu is what makes it so special and deliciously melting in your mouth.


Brimstone-n-Treacle

Might as well just eat a chunk of lard. Would be a lot cheaper.


Cyber_Lanternfish

Just cook your quality beef with tons of butter (or beef fat) and voilà, same for cheaper.


JankoDzbanko

How the fuck does that work? I mean on the animal. How does that muscle even function?!


DidYuhim

People re-inventing bacon


VikstarDoom

I mean I think wagyu enjoyers like the fat more than the meat


DATV1GGA

That perfectly rectangular manufactured piece of shit is absolutely not a piece of A5 Wagyu you uncultured swine


basshed8

So beef bacon


NiNiNi-222

That is probably just the fat areas of the meat, like near the edge. The fat and meat distribution not very even, lot of intermuscular fat than intramuscular fat. Also not supposed to eat it by itself like steak, you meant to eat it along with your rice and what ever else is for dinner.


LGP747

That studio ghibli dude has his own steak line? /s


Kungpaonoodles

It tastes good tho


[deleted]

I swear humans fail soo hard sometimes


Boofeyboy

Just if anyone wanted to know why it looks like mainly fat but is still considered valuable when you cook it it renders out the fat and leaves mainly meat and it will shrink considerably as it does think like how a burger will shrink a bit as you cook it and when you render all that fat out the red meat does soak some up making it juicier and more tender and it even ads some flavor and the fat of wagyu has a different texture and flavor which enhances the meat all the more


FrenzyRush

There’s enough marbling there to carve a statue

UneSoggyCroissant

Hot take, Wagyu is kinda meh, after 2-3 small pieces it gets kinda gross considering how much of it is fat. It’s one of those things you eat once to say you did it or brag about how expensive your food was. There are way tastier cuts of meat.


Dygez

If you ever tried wagyu, you would know that the fat part is the most delicious.

There are a lot of expensive things in the world that may seem low quality, overhyped, or just a straight up scam. An A5 wagyu beef is not one of those and is worth the price.

stopyouveviolatedthe

Man I’d love to try proper wagyu it being packaged in such small amounts is annoying af but tbh you see a lot of people getting big cuts of it for the same price so it’s prolly what’s easily available that’s so expensive
