When slicing into a perfectly cooked piece of Wagyu beef, the first thing you notice is the rich, savory aroma that wafts up from the plate. The smell is almost intoxicating, transporting you to a luxurious steakhouse on the other side of the world. But it’s not just the smell that makes Wagyu beef so special – it’s the taste, too. A rich, unctuous flavor that’s like nothing else you’ve ever experienced.

Yield:

Ingredients

2 cups Wagyu beef, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces

1 onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon thyme leaves

1 cup beef broth

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup red wine

Directions

Preheat your sous vide machine to 130°F (54°C). While the machine is heating up, slice the Wagyu beef into 1-inch thick pieces and season with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they’re caramelized and golden brown.

Add the garlic, thyme, and honey to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Then, add the Wagyu beef to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it’s browned on all sides.

Transfer the beef to the sous vide machine and cook for 1-2 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

Heat the beef broth, butter, and red wine in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter’s melted and the sauce is warm. Serve the Wagyu beef with the sauce spooned over the top.

Storage & Reheating

After cooking your Wagyu beef, let it cool completely before refrigerating or freezing. You can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat the beef in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until it’s hot and caramelized on the outside.
