If you think you’ve had Kobe beef in Canada, you’re wrong. But here's your chance

No no no, those are Kobe Bryant hot dogs. He personally rapes the cow and jizzes on it's face before it gets slaughtered.

Costco sells "Wagyu" steaks for about $50. Not sure where it's from but it's fantastic.

It's Australian. About double the price of Canadian AAA.

Yeah those are aussie wagyu, a lot more tender and fattier than the canadian beef.

I noticed the name of an Alberta farm on the Costco packaging. It's usually pretty good, but had a couple of packages that didn't taste right.

Question about the Costco aussie wagyu. Are you supposed to cook them on a grill at high heat? I usually treat em like a regular steak and it turns out pretty good. Just watched a couple youtube wagyu recipes and they all recommend a medium low heat so the fat doesn't melt away. How do you guys cook em?

Interesting read! Have heard of it before but never knew actually the difference.

I put them on ~220C, 4min each side (2min turn 90 degree for crisscross marks), usually comes out medium rare. They do catch fire quite easily because of the fat so I try not to have fire directly underneath. I guess I could try +250C may be 3minute each side.

I cooked it on a BBQ. High heat, seared 1 min per side without closing the top. Pretty much blue rare. Prepping was coating with olive oil, and dusted with ground sea salt and pepper on both sides.

The Costco ones aren't as marbled as Japanese Wagyu, but Costco mechanically tenderizes it, so some parts of the steak are as tender as Japanese Wagyu, but not fully consistent. You can cut it pretty easily with the butt end of a knife.

For the price of $60/kg it's a pretty good steak. Well worth the money. About double the price of Canadian AAA.

Edit - should mention that mechanically tenderized meat shouldn't be cooked blue rare. Chanced it anyways with my Asian iron stomach genetics.

They advertise it as Canadian, so likely Brant Lake Wagyu or Kobe Classic

However, while I was checking out the Costco Wagyu, noticed Costco USA has A-5 grade Japanese Wagyu, $1499 for 11 lbs. Montana trip anyone?

Not sure if they have different wagyu, the ones I bought from the store are definitely labelled aussie products. I've never ordered the ones online.

Yeah they are all mechanically tenderized with the stupid label telling you to cook them well done lol.

One minute per side Rage? Those things are like one inche thick. So you basically just caramelize the outside, the temperature on the inside probably barely changes lol. Nothing wrong with that, I'll eat thin slices of raw beef carpaccio style.

I'm guessing mechanically tenderized. Costco ruins all of their steaks with that Obviously nobody wants a well done steak, especially wagyu.
