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.
