3. Cooking & Usage Tips

Best Cooking Methods:

• Yakiniku/Grilling: Season lightly (or marinate) and grill on high heat for 1–2 minutes per side, ensuring a juicy bite.
• Stir-Frying: Slice into smaller pieces; cook with aromatics like garlic, onions, or peppers.
• Marinating: A short marinade (e.g., soy, mirin, sesame oil) can enhance the beefy flavors without overpowering the Wagyu character.

🚫 Avoid:

• Overcooking – Rib fingers can get chewy if taken beyond medium.
• Long Braising or Stewing – You’d lose the distinctive texture and quick-cook advantage of this cut.
