Enjoying Wagyu

Melt in the mouth. That predicates that carried the first Wagyu beef. Known as the meat is incredible soft, melted on the tongue. For the Japanese, means Wagyu beef (gyu) belongs to us or anything that smells of Japan (wa).
In general, this beef, especially coming from the prefecture (county), Kobe, Matsusaka in Mie prefecture region and the province now known as Omi, Shiga Prefecture, was considered remarkable because no other beef that may melt in the mouth.

This is caused by a number perlemakannya very high density, up to 12 on the Japanese scale. So, not matched by the number one American beef (prime), which only reached 7. So, the price is exorbitant. ''U.S. $ 1000 per kilo,''said William Wongso culinary expert.

Because more than half the fat (about 52%) in it is unsaturated fat that not only have a lower melting point than saturated fats, but also generally melt at room temperature. So, when she reached the mouth soon melt into oil that gives flavor savory (or umami for Japanese).

Kobe Beef''I do not think fit made steak. Especially if given bernaise sauce, cream sauce or other sauces are rich in oil. LHA, the meat itself already contains a lot of oil, oily sauce for what again? More match made tepanyaki, eaten with soy sauce Japan (soyu) that is not oily and crispy fried garlic so that it feels more kick,''said William.

Another alternative is served raw as carpaccio / sashimi meat in the form of very thin slices with olive oil vinegar dressing (vinaigrette).

If it nonetheless would be forced steak, William suggested that meat should be thick and labored to crisp outside but still moist and 'live' on the inside.

Another way is quickly grilled thin slices in a very hot fire. So, when oil in the flesh is too abundant, it is necessary to enjoy the strategy was changed. For example, with as shabu-shabu menghidangkannya in the form of thin slices dipped into hot sauce and then eaten. The hot water gives a sense of participating transported fresh, becomes a kind of counterweight. (Arif suryobuwono - Media Indonesia)
