NY strip steak were great and as advertised. The size of the steak is also perfect for the avid steak lover. I find that simplicity is the key to getting a wonderful taste and a little salt and pepper is enough to bring out its true taste (personal taste).
One of the $90 A5 Japanese Wagyu ribeye steaks showed up with 80% fat content. I called and asked if I could get a replacement stake and I was told that you get what you get.
good marbling
Normally I prefer less of a fat content (A3 or A4), so I Sous Vided the steak for 2 hrs at 128° then seared for 90 seconds on each side. A good amount of fat was rendered but I think I overdid it a bit so the meat wasn't as tender as I expected. Will reduce sear time to just under 60 seconds per side next time to see if the tenderness is a function of that. Otherwise very tasty and the fat wasn't overwhelming as much of the A5 rib cap that I've had in the past.
Great experience with Kai. My first order was delayed by the shipper and had to be thrown out, but they replaced it quickly and have earned more orders from me. Great company and incredible quality.
