How to Cook

Instruction
1. Prepare Your Ingredients

Take the Japanese A5 Wagyu ground beef out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. This helps in achieving even cooking.

2. Cooking Options

For Burgers:

  • Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Form the ground beef into patties, making them slightly thicker in the center (to account for shrinkage).
  • Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 130°F / 54°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties, as this can release the flavorful juices.

For Meatballs:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix the ground beef with breadcrumbs, egg, herbs, and seasonings of your choice.
  • Form into meatballs and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

For Stir-Fry:

  • Heat a bit of oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add the ground beef and stir-fry, breaking it apart as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked.
3. Rest the Meat

After cooking, allow the burgers or meatballs to rest for a few minutes. This resting time ensures that the juices redistribute, maintaining moisture and tenderness.

4. Serve

Serve the ground beef as you wish—on buns with your favorite toppings, over pasta, in tacos, or on a bed of greens. For meatballs, consider pairing them with a rich tomato sauce or gravy.

Best burgers ever!

This Japanese A5 wagyu ground beef was such a treat. It’s not cheap, but when you taste it, you understand why. I can’t believe I finally found a source for this level of quality, and honestly, it’s great value when you consider what you’re getting

I am used to good quality ground beef but this so unique. I promise it is unlike anything you will ever try. Other ground beef will seem dry after having this. Super juicy and amazing. Would highly recommend trying it guys.

Really special to try

This Japanese A5 wagyu ground beef turned our regular taco night into something out of a high-end restaurant. The richness and flavor are next level, and I could never find anything like it locally. It’s truly value for money with how much it elevated the whole meal
