skirt steak with traditional chimichurri and mango ginger toppings, bacon wrapped asparagus



skirt steak was seasoned with S&P and a drizzle of avocado oil to keep moist, seared and grilled on high heat BBQ pit until internal temp was 130*

asparagus was wrapped in thick maple bacon. baked in oven at 400* for 15 minutes. Turned over and broiled until cooked. I put some sliced parmesan on top for the last several minutes and cooked it a minute to long removed the parm as I didn't like the bronze crusted appearance. I normally use shaved parm but Rouses was sold out.

I made a regular chimichurri sauce consisting of cilantro, Italian parsley, EVOO, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Puree' in food processor until desired consistency. Went exotic with a mango, ginger chimichurri ... fresh mango, a tiny pinch of ginger which was super strong, a small dash of cilantro, EVOO, and rice wine vinegar. Puree as above. Then top graciously on steak.

The mango chimichurri was very light and sweet tasting. Nice pairing with the grilled steak flavor.

Costco’s A5 Waygu



Check out that marbling, had the butcher slice it in 3/4” pieces.





Busted out the small portable grilled over charcoal, 1 min per side.



Cooked to my liking.


Cooked strips of Wagyu over cast iron and made sushi and also served with sous vide egg yolks. Sides of mushroom, asparagus, smashed fingerling potatoes, and Asian chopped salad (Wagyu was only seasoned with salt and pepper).

Nice! I eyed up the Costco option. Did you have to order it or did your store have it in stock? Looked like some stores actually carried it although I have never seen it.

I see wagyu at Costco here often, not sure if it's that same grade though.

I never see it in Laffy, but I never really looked before either.

They say its A5 (top range) which has a BMS range (Beef Marbling Standard) of 8-12. Mine was a 12, I had talked to Grand Western when I ordered and said I needed a pretty one for my TD peeps and this cooking challenge I think the one from Costco was a different BMS rating, but it doesn't look like they send the info sheet on it





Either way I find it delish. Its interesting to feel a steak with that much fat in it. The steaks were stiff like they were still frozen not floppy like normal.

Last minute entry. Someone has to come in last, so what the hell.


Marinated Steak Bites Taco

First, I made some pico de Gallo.






Next, the marinade. The sirloin steak bites were marinated for two hours.

ETA: There was soy sauce in the marinade, not pictured. The marinade recipe is from Sam the Cooking Guy.











Then seared in a hot iron skillet and composed.













This one fell apart.




So I tried again. Not pretty, but tasty.

Ordered it online and it was overnighted to my house. Beef arrives as a frozen block so it takes a few days to thaw. After the butcher sliced the meat, I packaged some of the steaks individually, the fat would melt from the heat of your hand. I tried a piece of fat and it would melt in your mouth like butter.

So you took it to Costco for them to slice it after it thawed?

Yea I actually took mine and stuck it in the freezer for a bit once it was thawed to make it not melt as fast when I was cutting it. The guy where I ordered it from told me to do that. Its different how easy the fat melts it started sliding all over after the first cpl slices.

I ate some raw too as I was slicing...you know...quality control

No, I took it to a local butcher shop, Costco is 30 mins away on a great day without traffic. My Wagyu came a day or two late because of the unexpected winter freeze, Costco offered me a refund but the meat was salvageable.
