Directions
- Remove Wagyu from refrigerator and pat dry with paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
- Heat heavy bottom sauté pan or cast-iron pan over medium high flame.
- If desired, season Wagyu with kosher or sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
-
Place in heated pan (no need to add oil as natural fat from steak will be enough to cook), and sear on first side 1-2 min until golden brown and flip steak. Allow steak to cook 1-2 minutes more. Be sure to also cook steak on rounded edges for 1-2 minutes to completely sear.
Note: Cook steak 1-2 minutes per side for a rare steak; 3-4 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Remove steaks from pan and place on cutting board to rest.
- While Wagyu is resting add tomatoes and corn to skillet.
- Cook until tomatoes start to blister (about 4-5 minutes). Add garlic and stir. Continue to cook until tomatoes and corn are heated throughout. Add chopped parsley if desired.
- Slice rested Wagyu steaks and top with tomato and corn mixture.
Chef Notes
- ¾ cup frozen corn can be substituted for fresh
- Save drained Wagyu fat and reserve for later use as you would butter or oil- sauté vegetables, roast potatoes, or baste other meats to add an unexpected umami element.
- Drizzle your finished dish with a good extra virgin olive oil
