Bring to room temperature for 30-45 minutes. Season with sea salt only. Sear in a hot cast iron pan with a small amount of butter — 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Wagyu has a lower melting point than standard beef so needs slightly less heat. Baste continuously as it cooks. Rest for at least 5 minutes. Medium-rare is ideal — the marbling needs gentle heat to render properly.

Our Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu is hand-selected from the top 1% of cattle, delivering consistently impressive marbling. While we don't grade to the Japanese BMS scale, the marbling profile is significantly higher than standard grass-fed beef — producing a noticeably richer, more complex eating experience.

Our Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu cattle are raised on lush pastures across the British Isles by a collective of passionate Wagyu farmers. Raised in a low-emission, pasture-focused system with additional feed grown on the farm to reduce food miles. Hand-selected from the top 1% of cattle at slaughter.

Japanese A5 Wagyu has the world's highest marbling scores and an intensely rich flavour — often served in small tasting portions. Our Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu has a cleaner, grassier flavour from the pasture-raised system with excellent marbling that makes it more versatile as a full steak portion. A distinctly British take on one of the world's great beef traditions.
