Wagyu British Beef Striploin Steak | ±250g, ±400g

Freedown Hills F1 Wagyu beef striploin steak represents the pinnacle of premium dining. Raised in Yorkshire, these cattle are meticulously crossbred to achieve a superior blend of Wagyu and European beef characteristics. 

Perfectly suited for grilling or pan-searing.

Preparation (Applies to All Methods)
1. Defrost the Steak Properly:
- Place it in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
- If in a hurry, submerge it in cold water (sealed in a bag) for 1-2 hours.
2. Pat Dry Thoroughly: Use paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps with better browning.
3. Season Simply:
- Light seasoning (salt and black pepper) enhances the wagyu flavour.
- Avoid strong marinades or excessive spices.
4. Let It Reach Room Temperature:
- Rest the steak for 30-45 minutes before cooking for even heat distribution.

1. Stovetop (Pan-Seared) at 180-200°C

- Best For: Crispy crust & control over doneness
1. Preheat a Heavy Pan:
- Use a cast iron or stainless steel pan on medium-high heat.
- No need to add oil as wagyu has natural fat.
2. Sear the Steak:
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Flip only once for an even crust.
3. Baste with Butter (Optional):
- In the last minute, add 1 tbsp butter, garlic, and thyme.
- Tilt the pan and spoon the butter over the steak.
4. Rest & Serve:
- Remove from heat and rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.

2. Oven (Reverse Sear) at 110-120°C + Pan Searing

- Best For: Precise doneness with an excellent crust
1. Preheat the Oven: Set it to 110-120°C.
2. Prepare the Steak: Place the steak on a wire rack over a baking tray.
3. Slow Cook Until 45-48°C (Rare to Medium-Rare):
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.
4. Sear in a Hot Pan:
- Heat a pan to 200°C and sear for 1 minute per side for a golden crust.
5. Rest & Serve: Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

3. Air Fryer at 200°C

- Best For: Quick & easy cooking with a good crust
1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 200°C.
2. Cook the Steak:
- Place in the basket and air fry for 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
3. Check Internal Temp:
- 50-52°C (rare)
- 54-57°C (medium-rare)
- 60°C+ (medium)
4. Rest & Serve: Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

4. Grill (Charcoal or Gas) at 200-220°C

- Best For: Smoky flavour & grill marks
1. Preheat the Grill: Heat to 200-220°C (medium-high heat).
2. Oil the Grates: Use a paper towel dipped in oil to prevent sticking.
3. Grill the Steak:
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- For extra grill marks, rotate 90° halfway through each side.
4. Rest & Serve: Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Final Tips for British Wagyu:

- Cook Wagyu at Slightly Lower Heat: Too much heat can burn the delicate fat.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: Aim for 52-54°C (medium-rare), 57-60°C (medium).
- Let the Fat Render Properly: Wagyu fat is rich and flavourful. Slow cooking methods work great!
