Rangers Valley WX Wagyu Beef Collection ( Australia )

Tasting notes from the Curator

The Rangers Valley WX beef provide an exquisite and buttery mouthfeel. All their cuts provide a deep umami flavour and really melt-in-your-mouth texture.

• Wagyu WX Rib Eye MB5+ 400 - 450g : The most fatty cut, with the deepest flavours, that all steak lovers will unmistakably love. This cut is perfect to share for 2 to 3 people.

• Wagyu WX Strip Loin MB5+ 400 - 450g : A leaner cut, but still deep in flavour and tender. The easiest to cook.

• Wagyu WX Tenderloin MB5+ 250 - 300g : Extraordinarily tender, buttery. The cut for fine dining. Beautiful with a nice Soulard Foie Gras Escalope on top.

Preparation or Pairings

Books have been written on how to perfectly cook a steak, and the debates are still not closed.

• Grilling will provide you the best cooking experience and a great texture and smoky flavour. But it’s not precise and needs experience to perfectly execute.

• Sous vide will provide you amazing precision and perfectly cooked centre. You need some expensive equipment, and cooking takes a long time.

• Sear-roasting needs an oven and a cast-iron skillet. Pre-heat both, sear the steak in the cast iron skillet, then slip into oven to finish cooking. Amazing crust, but not really precise.

• Pan Frying, the most classic way, provides great crust, but is also imprecise and demand experience to perfectly execute.

In all these situations, we recommend using a good meat thermometer ( beware of affordable ones, they are not precise ) :

• Extra-rare : Core at 80 to 100℉

• Rare : Core at 120 to 125℉

• Medium Rare : Core at 130 to 135℉

• Medium : Core at 140 to 145℉

• Medium Well: Core at 150 to 155℉

• Well Done : Core at 160℉ and above.

Of course, we recommend you to enjoy your steaks Medium Rare.
