Why full blood
- Full blood genetics. Every animal in the program carries 100% Wagyu genetics. Much of the Wagyu sold outside Japan is crossbred.
- Top of the Australian scale. The Australian marble score runs up to 9+, and this filet is graded 9+.
- A real steak portion. Unlike A5, you can serve this filet whole.

Flavor and texture
The tenderloin is the least-worked muscle on the animal, so filet is naturally the most tender cut. At BMS 9+, fine marbling adds a buttery richness that a lean conventional filet doesn't have, while the meat keeps a clean, beefy flavor.
It's a good choice for guests who find A5 too rich, or for a classic steak dinner.
How to cook a Wagyu filet mignon
- Thaw. 24 hours in the refrigerator, still sealed.
- Temper and season. Pat dry, let it sit out 30 minutes and salt all sides.
- Sear. Heat a cast iron pan until very hot with a thin film of high-heat oil. Sear 2 to 3 minutes per side, then sear the edges.
- Baste. Lower the heat, add butter, garlic and thyme and spoon the butter over the steak.
- Pull and rest. Take it off at 125 to 130°F for medium-rare and rest 5 minutes.
For a thick filet you can also reverse sear: 250°F oven to 115°F, then a hard sear. More in our guide to cooking Wagyu steak.

Wagyu calves start on pasture and grass, then move to a long grain-finishing period of rice straw, corn and barley that builds Wagyu marbling. Japanese A5 cattle are typically grain-finished for well over a year. Australian Wagyu feeding varies by farm and is listed on each product page.
