I got a 1lb steak yesterday. I trimmed it into two medallions. Cooked it in a cast iron skillet, lubricated with trimmed fat, and butter. Cooked to medium rare. Seasoned with SPOG. It was really tasty, just not sure it was worth the price.
I have been wanting to try Waygu, for some time. The price was always the big turn off. I was paid for a job, I didn't expect to get paid for, so I said, "Why not?". There is a local boutique grocer, that carries a well known brand of Waygu. They had NY's, for $32 per pound. I grabbed 1 steak. Went home, trimmed, seasoned, and allowed it to acclimate. Cooked them on the Treager, in a cast iron skillet. I let them rest, in the microwave. Then it was time to eat.
Wife made Brussel sprouts and bacon, and I also made some drumettes, seasoned with Bovine Bold. We dove into the food. Chicken was slightly over cooked, but still tasty. Sprouts were amazing, even though I'm still trying to like them. The NY, on the other hand...
Absolutely delicious. The whole thing was on point. Quite possibly, the best steaks I've cooked. As I was enjoying this delicious meat, I was reminded of a whisky tasting with a friend/distiller. We sampled a bottle of 25 year Glenlivet. As tasty as it was, we both agreed that the less expensive 18 year, was better. We also find Johnnie Walker Green, better than Blue.
Was it just me, that didn't find Waygu, worth the price?

. As far as the whisky goes, that's also subjective. When we get a new bottle, my wife and I often do a blind taste testing. It's surprising what good finds we can find. We buy the cheapest first and move our way up.
