The Wagyu center cut bavette is a butcher's secret worth seeking out. Cut from the center of the flap for a more uniform shape, this steak carries a pronounced grain similar to skirt, hanger, and flank, with the rich, buttery flavor that sets our American Wagyu apart.

Graded SRF Black® for deep marbling, the bavette loves high heat. Sear it on a hot grill or in a cast iron pan and serve medium rare. Its pronounced grain takes beautifully to a marinade, so feel free to use your favorite recipe, and always slice against the grain for the most tender bite. It's a versatile cut long favored by Asian, Latin American, and French chefs for its full-bodied flavor.

Average weight: 2.2 lbs.

The bavette works well seared on a hot grill or skillet. We recommend a medium rare finish. The rough texture of the bavette caramelizes beautifully over high heat to add texture and flavor.

Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Target 120°F for medium rare and 130°F for medium.

Rest your steak at least 10 minutes before serving to let the internal temperature equalize and allow the juices to be reabsorbed.

This cut has a coarse grain that runs along the short side. Rotate the bavette and cut against the grain.

What is bavette steak?

Located in the loin primal, bavette is a thin, flat steak gaining popularity for its tenderness and extreme flavor. Known in French butchery as bavette d'aloyau, it has an open, pronounced grain similar to skirt and flank. This cut is highly versatile and takes well to marinades and rubs, especially over high heat.
