Description

Five Japanese A5 Wagyu Rib Cap Steaks — the most coveted cut on the cow, now in a 5-pack that rewards your taste.

The Rib Cap (also called the Spinalis) is the crescent-shaped muscle that wraps around the outside of the ribeye. It is widely considered the most flavorful, most tender muscle on the cow. Now apply that to Japanese A5 Wagyu, where the intramuscular fat content is already in a league of its own, and you have something that genuinely earns the word exceptional.

This cut has a looser, more open grain than a standard ribeye or strip, which means fat renders into every fiber fast — delivering unreal butteriness and just enough chew to remind you you are eating actual beef.

What You Get

  • 5 x Japanese A5 Wagyu Rib Cap Steaks (7-9 oz each)
  • BMS 9+ marbling score
  • 35-45 oz total weight

Bundle Savings

  • Individual retail value: $324.95
  • Bundle price: $289.99
  • You save: $34.96
Why We Love It

Most people chasing A5 Wagyu go straight for the ribeye or striploin — and those are great. But butchers know the Rib Cap is the real prize. It wraps around the outside of the ribeye and carries even more intramuscular fat. This bundle gives you five of them at 30% off the individual retail price.

Perfect for dinner parties, special occasions, or stocking your freezer with the best cut in the A5 lineup.

What makes thE MEATERY different?

The Meatery stands out by combining tradition with innovation. Our butchers bring decades of expertise, carefully preparing each cut to perfection. From rare heritage breeds to custom aging techniques, we go the extra mile to bring you unique flavors and textures you won’t find elsewhere. Plus, our commitment to transparency means you always know the story behind your food.

How should I cook it?

First: Respect the fat

A5 Wagyu fat melts at a significantly lower temperature than American beef. That means you need less heat, less time, and less interference. The Rib Cap has a looser grain that renders beautifully — a slightly slower cook, either Sous Vide for 2-4 hours or reverse seared with a hard sear finish, will get you the best results.

Slice thin against the grain and serve immediately. A5 is best enjoyed in smaller portions — these five steaks will easily serve 10-15 people as a main course.

Japanese A5 Wagyu: A Must-Try, exquisite experience

Japanese A5 Wagyu is a bucket list item every foodie needs to experience at least once.

Incredibly marbled, "cut-it-with-a-spoon" tender and FULL of umami flavor it is an experience unlike any other.

"In Japan, A5 Wagyu is referred to as a 'holiday steak.' The Japanese enjoy it infrequently, in a celebratory setting.

When customers walk into our store seeking this level of experience, I advise them two main things: 1...share this experience with someone, and 2...a little bit goes a LONG way. The average male only consumes 4-6oz of A5 Wagyu due to its intense richness."

Great Cut of Wagyu!

Deliciously tender - full of flavor. The packaging made some of them harder to keep together, due to their shape, but overall highly recommended!

NICK'S TRICK FOR COOKING A5 WAGYU (IT'S REALLY EASY)

Step 1: Cut Wagyu into Strips

I always tell customers if you're worried about cooking A5 Wagyu, the easiest way to do it is to cut it into two-finger-wide strips and cook one strip at a time while you build your confidence.

This works best on Ribeyes and New York Strips, but can also work on Denver steaks.

Step 2: Heat & Grease Cast Iron Pan

Preheat your cast-iron pan to medium-high heat.

If you have a small piece of fat, you can run it over the cast-iron pan to grease it. I do not recommend using any external greasing agent, such as butter or oil, as it adds a different flavor.

Step 3: Sear on Cast Iron Pan

Cast iron pans have a really cool way of grabbing the meat and releasing it when the crust has been properly applied. This process takes about 45 seconds to a minute per side.

Cook your first piece and eyeball it, and give it a try. Make your adjustments from there. Trust me, even if it's a little overcooked, it's still going to be incredibly delicious. And don't forget to put a really great salt on it.
