Cooking Tips

SRF Gold Plus™ Wagyu NY Manhattan slices are deeply marbled and cook quickly. Since they are thin, accurately checking the internal temperature with a thermometer is difficult. This is one of those rare times we recommend watching the slices as they cook to decide when they are done. The goal is to sear at least one side to a golden brown. At that point, the slices may be cooked and can be removed from the heat.

For searing, use a skillet on medium high heat. Cook for about 90 to 120 seconds. Flip and sear the other side if needed.

It’s possible to cook on a grill, however, use caution to ensure the slices don’t slip through the grates.

For shabu shabu or hot pot, cook as you would any sliced beef places the slicing directly into the hot water or broth.

Beef Grading

Snake River Farms beef grades start at USDA Prime, the top grade on the USDA scale. The majority of SRF beef is marbled well beyond this level. To grade SRF, we use a 12-point Beef Marbling Score (BMS), which measures marbling that exceeds the USDA scale.

SRF Silver® - BMS of 4 to 5. Marbling comparable to USDA Prime. 

SRF Black® - BMS of 6 to 8. Significantly more marbling than USDA Prime.   

SRF Gold® - BMS of 9 to 10. Dramatically more marbling than USDA Prime. 

SRF Gold Plus™ - BMS of 11 to 12. The highest marbling available from Snake River Farms.

The sirloin is the portion toward the rear of the loin and is the source of SRF Wagyu™ top sirloin steaks and the picanha (coulotte). The front portion of the loin is known as the short loin and is home to the SRF Wagyu™ New York strip, Porterhouse, T-bone and filet mignon steaks.

The right choice depends on how you plan to cook and serve the beef:

  • Wagyu NY Strip Slices are best for everyday cooking like sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks, stir fries, and steak and eggs. These thin slices come from end-cut New York strip steaks and are designed for versatility.
  • Wagyu NY Manhattan Slices (also known as NY striploin slices) are center-cut slices with SRF Gold Plus™ marbling. These 8mm slices are ideal for hot pot, shabu shabu, and quick searing where tenderness and rich flavor stand out.

All three come from the New York strip, but each is prepared for a different cooking experience.
