Wagyu ribeye from.........Wal-Mart?....

Surprised to see them there, definitely not A1 wagyu grade and probably a cross between wagyu and an American breed, but for $20/ pound I will give it a try

A5 is the best grade, so this is most likely either A1 or A2

Friend,
I, too, have no liking for Wagyu. Its corpulent speckling disgusts me. Its current place of favor in the American dining scene is completely an unwarranted fad. I’m disappointed in a fine purveyor of groceries like Walmart joining this trend.
Having said that A1 is the lowest, not highest, grade of Wagyu, which corresponds to a beef marbling score if 1. The highest grade is 5 which corresponds to a bms if 8 to 12.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

You're thinking A5, but for $16 that's a great looking steak whether it's wagyu or not. Marbling does look like it though. It's undoubtedly a cross, likely with Angus.

That is a good looking steak. Is that .59 lbs or .69 lbs ?

I would buy that and eat it 100%. Hope you bought it. Let us know how it turns out.

The items in that section of the meat coolers at walmart, with the wagyu stuff and grass fed beef etc, gets marked down a lot at my local walmart. I bought a bunch of packs of the grass fed beef that was marked down lower than their cheap stuff, and the meat wasn't old at all.

I usually get the grass-fed ribeyes from the same section. I love those. One time they were out and I got the wagyu. It was great for the price.

I was shocked too. I got some and did them sous vide then hard sear in cast iron...they were solid.

Is the Japanese beef that supposedly costs a fortune to eat and is only served in certain restaurants?
Posted on 5/28/20 at 8:08 am to Tigerpaw123
is it as good as the Dollar General ribeyes? 
Posted on 5/28/20 at 8:27 am to Tigerpaw123
update: so upon closer inspection it was about $27/lb and that ribeye was .59lb or about 9 1/2 oz, a small ribeye but perfect for a weekday supper. salt pepper a little granulated garlic, grilled to medium rare(120 internal temp)and the steak was great, I would buy another tomorrow at that price....but it was not significantly better than a USDA prime ribeye in my opinion so I would have been disappointed if I would of paid the 40, 50 or more dollars per pound for traditional wagyu.
I guess my biggest surprise was that Wal-Mart had wagyu beef, it has been a long time since i even looked at meat at wal mart and found this by accident, but I will look in the future

Tigerpaw I’ve bought several of those that were marked down and they were damn good.

Has anyone tried these recently? I haven’t been to a Walmart since this thread started and really want to try one of these. Any updates?

Noticed today at Costco that they were offering American wagu premade hamburger patties. Kinda chuckled when I saw the package. I’ll give them a shot if they have them a while
Posted on 9/29/21 at 4:27 pm to Tigerpaw123
Stumbled upon this googling... bought one today and cooked it on a cast iron. Pretty damn good.

so we picked up a couple of these (around $21/lb i think) and gave them a 128 degree sous vide bath. i got the grill up to 800 degrees then a quick sear on both sides.
verdict: pretty buttery tasting. i left mine plain - didn't even add salt so all i could taste was the meat itself. the 128 was perfect; these are thin steaks so center was red more like a medium/rare. knife cut through the steak like hot butter.
wife added salt & pepper to hers and i tried it and it didn't add that much to the overall flavor.
verdict: i'd rather have a thicker choice cut ribeye from costco next time. fun experiment but not worth $21/lb.

I have been getting them from Langenstien's and Dorginac's. They are delicious.
