Instruction
1. Prepare the Steak:
Remove the A5 Wagyu Flap Meat Steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes for even cooking.
2. Preheat the Pan or Grill:
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat until very hot. If using a skillet, you may add a small amount of high-smoke point oil to the pan for better searing.
3. Sear the Steak:
Place the flap meat on the hot skillet or grill. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms. Since the flap meat is relatively thin, avoid overcooking it.
4. Check the Temperature:
For optimal flavor and tenderness, aim for a medium-rare finish with an internal temperature of around 130°F (54°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
5. Rest the Steak:
Once cooked, remove the flap meat from the skillet or grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more flavorful bite.
6. Slice and Serve:
Slice the steak against the grain to maximize tenderness. Serve immediately, perhaps with a drizzle of high-quality olive oil or a sprinkle of sea salt to elevate the flavors.
Very delicious. Wish it was cheaper so I could buy more constantly :(

I wanted to try a cheaper piece from Destination Wagyu before trying the more expensive pieces. This may be my new favorite steak and can't imagine it getting better.
