What is American Wagyu Beef?

American Wagyu beef is the result of crossbreeding traditional Japanese Wagyu cattle with American breeds, typically Black Angus. This combination enhances the rich marbling and buttery texture of Japanese Wagyu with the robust, beefy flavor which American palates know and love. The cattle are raised under careful conditions to produce high-quality beef, known for its tenderness, juiciness, and luxurious eating experience, making it a premium choice in the U.S. for those looking for exceptional beef without having to import meat from Japan.

American Wagyu Beef FAQs

What is the difference between American Wagyu and traditional Wagyu beef?

The main difference between American Wagyu and traditional Wagyu beef lies in the cattle and breeding process. Traditional Wagyu refers to purebred Japanese cattle, known for their extraordinary marbling, rich flavor, and tenderness. American Wagyu is a crossbreed between Japanese Wagyu and American cattle (typically Angus), resulting in a blend of the signature marbling of Wagyu with a more robust flavor that suits American tastes. While both offer premium quality, traditional Wagyu tends to have finer marbling and a more delicate texture.

What's the Difference Between American Wagyu and USDA Prime Steaks?

American Wagyu and USDA Prime steaks differ primarily in marbling and flavor profile. American Wagyu results from crossbreeding Japanese Wagyu cattle with American breeds, producing superior marbling, a rich, buttery texture, and a luxurious eating experience. USDA Prime steaks, sourced from the top 5-6% of American beef, are also known for excellent marbling, but they offer a more robust, beefy flavor. While both are premium options, American Wagyu has a more delicate and tender texture due to its higher fat content.

How Are the American Wagyu Steaks Shipped?

Each of our American Wagyu Steaks are packaged using our Flavor Lock™ System. The Flavor Lock™ System is our state-of-the-art rapid freezing process. After wet-aging, steaks are vacuum-sealed then flash-frozen, and shipped in a Styrofoam cooler with dry ice or gel packs right to your door in ideal condition and quality. Our system stops the aging process at peak flavor, preventing any moisture loss during thawing. The vacuum-sealed steak packaging protects our steaks from freezer burn. We strongly recommend slowly thawing these steaks in the refrigerator on a plate to guarantee the best results. With standard shipping, meat gifts will arrive the same week if the meat gift order is placed by Wednesday at 3:00 pm CST. To expedite shipping - select overnight shipping, fixed date delivery, or Saturday 2-day delivery during checkout.
