3. Cooking & Usage Tips

Best Cooking Methods:

• Quick Grilling / Yakiniku: Season lightly (or use a favorite marinade); grill on high heat for about 1–2 minutes per side.
• Pan-Searing: Use a hot skillet with minimal oil; sear each side for a nice crust, aiming for medium-rare to keep it tender.
• Stir-Frying: Slice thinly against the grain, then cook rapidly with veggies or sauce to retain juiciness.

🚫 Avoid:

• Overcooking – This cut can quickly become tougher if cooked beyond medium.
• Extended Slow Cooking – The marbling is best appreciated in fast-cook methods, where the cut’s natural juices are preserved.
