Cooking Tips

Beef Grading

The Zabuton, also known as the Denver steak, is richly marbled with a unique flavor profile that is savory and buttery with a slightly subdued beefiness. Its texture is supple and is the fourth most tender of all beef cuts. The name "zabuton" comes from the Japanese word for a flat and square pillow which is how the steak is often cut. Grill this steak as-is or slice it for Japanese inspired dishes like shabu shabu (hot pot) or seared yakiniku style (similar to Korean BBQ).

The large section where we source the Denver steak is not symmetrical, so this cut may have some variation in size and shape.

The zabuton is a richly marbled steak that's unique in flavor and texture. Prepare it as you would a New York strip. 

Reverse searing (cooking at a low temp, then finish searing) is an excellent method to prepare this steak. The steakhouse method is a good secondary technique to use. Regardless of the method used, be sure to get a hard sear to bring out the most flavor.  

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

Finish your steak with a light sprinkle of flaky salt for a nice presentation and an appetizing salty crunch. 

For more tips see our Steak Guide. 

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 the 12-point Japanese 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 12. The highest marbling available from Snake River Farms.

Chuck

This large primal is in the shoulder area of beef cattle and produces cuts known for their beefy flavor. The chuck is generally associated with roasts for slow-cooking; however, it also yields tender, grill-ready cuts including the flat iron and teres major.

What is a zabuton?

The zabuton, also known as the Denver steak, is an intensely marbled cut with a buttery beef flavor and tender texture. Meat scientists have found the zabuton to be the fourth most tender of all steaks, which is surprising since it comes from the chuck or shoulder which generally yields tougher cuts. 

The name "zabuton" comes from the Japanese word for a flat and square pillow which is how the steak appears when served in Japanese cuisine.

What is American Wagyu?

American Wagyu is purebred Japanese Wagyu crossbred with high quality American cattle breeds. The result is beef with rich marbling, buttery texture and aroma and savory umami with the hearty beef flavor preferred by American palates.
