Two 20 oz Australian Wagyu New York steaks | (8-10 BMS)

Our Wagyu New York Steaks are the most awarded grain fed beef in Australia. With a high 8-10 beef marbling score, these 20 oz Australian Wagyu New Yorks have the tenderness, juiciness and quality of each bite that will keep a lasting impression. Premium Australian Wagyu cattle are all HGP (Hormone Growth Promotant) Free. Expert Japanese nutritionists designed a high-energy diet with barley and wheat to further digestibility of this prime beef. No "yellow grains" (corn) are used in the feeding process. All cattle are "finished" on a minimum of 400 days of white grain (Australian barley and wheat, and absolutely no corn). This encourages a slower growth, so each animal has a strong bone structure which supports their body mass. This high-quality feeding practice is the secret to more evenly distributed marbling, which gives the meat it's exceptional taste. In sample tastes, we hear, "this is the best steak I've ever had", time and again.

This product includes Two 20 oz Australian Wagyu New Yorks (8-10 bms).

So What Makes a Good Steak?

If you think about every memorable steak you have had, it probably came from an exceptional cut of beef. An amazing steak is distinguished by its taste, texture, grade and cut.

Beef Marbling

Beef marbling is defined as pure and visible white flecks of intramuscular fat. Marbling is the trait that decides the quality of meat. Beef with high marbling when prepared and consumed in moderation has several advantages apart from texture and taste. High-quality marbled beef contains a high level of marbling, which means it also has a high level of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids.

There is a huge misunderstanding about fat. When you consume food, you are ingesting more than one type of fat. Any food that contains fat has more than one fat within it. While watching the amount of fat you eat is good, it is better to pay attention to what types of fat you are eating. Saturated fats are not considered beneficial for health, but monounsaturated fats are. Monounsaturated fats are healthy fatty acids that have been shown to lower cholesterols and the risk of heart diseases.

Advantages of Australian Wagyu Beef

Australian Wagyu beef is superior to American beef and American Wagyu because Australian Wagyu has the greatest amount of marbling, which means it also has the most oleic acids (a monounsaturated fatty acid, naturally found in the fats and oils of animals and vegetables). These fatty acids have been shown to improve an individual’s health by increasing their ability to fight off infections and diseases as well as boosting their immunity. Australian Wagyu surpasses American or Black Angus due to the quality and the amount of marbling as well as the distribution of it. Australian Wagyu is often described as buttery, tender, and delicious.

Grades of Beef

Grades of Beef, from lowest quality to highest in terms of Beef Marbling Score (BMS):

• Standard and Commercial grade

Standard and or Commercial grade is commonly sold as ungraded or store brand and has scant amounts of marbling if any at all. It is generally also the cheapest, and toughest cut available in local grocery stores.

• Select grade (BMS 0-1)

Select is customarily a leaner cut with minimal marbling which leads to a tougher cut of meat.

• Choice grade (BMS 2-3)

Choice grade is the highest quality generally found at your local supermarket. Has less marbling than Prime grade, even so has a decent amount of marbling.

• Prime grade (BMS 4-5)

Prime grade can sometimes be found at your local grocery store, but normally it is more likely something you would purchase from a higher end grocery store or butcher. This grade habitually comes from young well-fed cattle, which is why it has a good amount of marbling. Hence why most restaurants and hotels use this grade.

• Prime + or Elite Prime (BMS 5-6)

This is the grade that American Wagyu, and high-end Black Angus fall under. The only difference between the two is the amount of marbling, and in this case typically the American Wagyu has a bit more marbling as well as more even distribution of the marbling.

• Australian Wagyu (BMS 7-9)

Australian Wagyu score better than American Wagyu or Black Angus, averaging a BMS score of 7-9 or in the Australian system AUS-MEAT 7-9. Australian Wagyu surpasses American or Black Angus due to the quality and the amount of marbling as well as the distribution of it. Often described as buttery, tender, and delicious. Most of our customers prefer Australian Wagyu over American or Japanese Wagyu.

• Japanese Wagyu (BMS 9-12)

Japanese Wagyu has the highest level of marbling on the market which is why it is the most prized as well as the most expensive on the market. Japanese Wagyu is extremely rich and is traditionally served and sold per slice. In Japan, Japanese Wagyu is served as an accompaniment to the main course, rarely served more than 2 oz per person. Japanese Wagyu is not a preferred steak in the way most Americans eat beef as a main course because of how rich it is.
