This was a full blood Japanese Australian wagyu strip a good friend gifted me from Wassi’s Meat Market out of Melbourne, FL. My dad was in town for a night so figured we’d treat ourselves. I used a vortex and cooked the steak indirect heat on the kettle at around 275 until it hit just under 120.

For the sear, I added more charcoal to the vortex and used a little piece of fat from the cut to get the skillet ready for the sear. First time using a skillet on my kettle, wanted to be careful with all the fat in this cut. Once my skillet was hot as hell, I seared all sides for around 30 seconds.

This was probably the best steak I’ve cooked, glad I got to share it with my dad!
