You're thinking of Kobe beef

Sort of true. Kobe is from certain Wagyu cows, bloodlines or some shite.

Then there is American Wagyu, which only needs a certain percentage of wagyu bloodline.

There is a butcher on the board (a few cattlemen too), hopefully one chimes in.

Yeah Kobe is a type of Wagyu. There are a couple different subsets. American is crossbred mainly with Angus.

I`ve bought and eaten the wagyu burgers Walmart sells and I think they are good. Would definitely try the steak as well.

That’s some incredible marbling for a $18 steak imo.

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

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?

What temp did you set your sous vide? And how long?

I've been using 121 degrees for 90 minutes.


Sorry I missed your question. I have done my rib eyes at 134-137. I usually like my steaks mid rare but I find on a ribeye the fat is sometimes stiff not rendered soft to my liking. This higher SV temp allows it to render more...I do them for about 1-2hrs depending on the thickness. I also put them in a ice bath/fridge to cool them off a lot before the sear since they are already cooked to a higher temp than normal.

I have not seen these at WM again...I never seen them at WM before either

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

Stumbled upon this googling... bought one today and cooked it on a cast iron. Pretty damn good.

Is there a different flavor profile? Considering you can grind whatever fat you want into a burger, I don't see much benefit otherwise.

I wouldn't use Wagyu for burgers. I don't know that I would even use the fat trimmings for burgers. I think I would render the fat for some Wagyu tallow instead. Now if it was scrap meat and not enough fat I might grind it into some burgers.

I have not had Wagyu a bunch so maybe I would change my mind.

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.
