The price should have been a warning sign… Wagyu is crazy expensive. Probably fake Wagyu at that price.

I agree with much of what you said. I usually buy the Costco 80/20 hamburger. I’ve made really good hamburgers and burgers that I wasn’t really satisfied with. I still like to experiment with different seasonings and cooking methods.I do like them on an open flame though. I have a Bug Horn broiler that I like. It’s infrared and gets to 1500°F. It puts a nice crust on them. It’s really great for reverse-searing steaks. But there’s something to be said for the taste when the burger grease is dropping into the flames. There’s nothing like it. Also love cooking over charcoal.
I was able to buy one of those park charcoal barbecue pits. That thing was fantastic. You could lower the metal grates right down on top of the hot coals. I left that with the house when I sold it. But I would definitely buy another one.
They sell at Costco for $144.

Buy a couple of heads of broccoli and a few red peppers.
Chop them up when you get home.
Now you’ve got the makings of easy breakfast omelettes and stir fries for the week.
I had WagYou at the cheap Chinese takeout in PawPaw.

I had some A5 wagyu in Japan 6 or 7 years ago. It was unreal good but holy shit it was like a down payment on a house expensive.
No kidding. We had the dinning package. It was like 300 plus that was in 2019

Costco sells certified Wagyu A5 Filets for $175 / lb. I just couldn’t spend that money in good conscience. I would rather just leave that much more to my heirs to be honest. Then they can buy Wagyu steaks.

Thats a great cut though. Seems like a decent price. Yeah ill stick to cheaper cuts
At that price, I might have to American Pie those filets before I cook them. Lionpile Jus. Gorgonzola béchamel?

Ah, I haven’t been. Always like to go to good steakhouses on the company dime. I’m too cheap with my own money. I buy the Costco whole tenderloins and cut them into 6 - 8 oz filets. Cutting it up feeds my demons. But lately I have been finding them less expensive at Gordon Foods. They probably need to be cleaned up a little bit more than Costco‘s but it’s about $5 a pound cheaper. I find tenderloin is pretty much the same if I buy it whole at Costco, Gordon foods, or even Kroger. It’s just a great cut of meat.
