Step into the world of gourmet indulgence with our Japanese A5 Wagyu Rib Cap Steak 🥩. Exclusively pioneered by Nick, this steak is more than just a cut—it's a culinary masterpiece that pays homage to the revered wagyu beef A5. Hailing from the "Rib Cap" or "Lifter" section of the rib, this cut stands distinct from the Spinalis Dorsi, offering a bite that's unparalleled in richness and texture.

 

The steak's marbling is nothing short of artistry, reminiscent of the intricate patterns that are the signature of top-grade Japanese Wagyu. Its taste? An exquisite balance, marrying the buttery decadence of A5 Wagyu with the satisfying chew akin to an American steak 🍴. Whether you're thinking of a sous vide and sear, a classic reverse sear, or even daring to pop it on the smoker, this steak promises a flavor explosion with every bite 😋. Dive in and experience a steak that not only tantalizes the palate but also tells a story of craftsmanship and passion.


Japanese A5 Wagyu | Rib Cap Steak | 7-9oz

Cooking Tip:

Because the Rib Cap is cut from above the Ribeye (Lifter Meat) it is a grainier cut. We find the best preparation of this beautiful cut is a slightly slower cook, either in a Sous Vide for 2-4 hours or reverse seared with a sear finish.

Pairs well with...
  • Younger Burgundy
  • High-tannin Cabernet
  • Japanese Whisky
  • Highball
  • Club Soda with a splash of Cranberry Juice

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW IS THE MEAT SHIPPED?

We ship using 2nd Day Express Air, typically UPS. We only ship on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays to ensure weekday delivery. Your meat is safely packed in a sturdy cooler box and kept cold with a combination of gel packs and dry ice. Usually the meat arrives frozen, but some thawing is totally normal and the meat can be safely refrozen.

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR MEAT FROM?

The Meatery goes to great lengths to source only the highest quality proteins from the most reputable, humane suppliers from around the world.

IS EVERYTHING I SEE ON THE WEBSITE AVAILABLE IN THE STORE?

Everything on the website is also available at the Mission Gorge store. Our store in Mission Hills has a broad selection of Wagyu but also is a neighborhood concept with a great "everyday" selection of items (Choice Beef, Chicken, Spices etc.) that are not listed on the website.
