🔹 Description:

1. Product Overview

• Cut: Short Plate (cubed)
• Flavor Profile: Extremely rich, buttery, beefy
• Texture: Marbled with connective tissues that become fork-tender when slow-cooked
• Suitable For: Braising, stewing, slow cooking in soups or curries

2. Why This Cut?

✔ A5 Wagyu Marbling – The highest grade of Japanese Wagyu, ensuring luxurious flavor and tenderness even in tougher cuts.
✔ Ideal for Slow Cooking – Short plate cubes have a moderate amount of connective tissue that breaks down beautifully with long simmering, resulting in melt-in-your-mouth bites.
✔ Deep, Comforting Flavor – Perfect for hearty stews, flavorful braises, or slow-simmered sauces that fully showcase the richness of Wagyu beef.

3. Cooking & Usage Tips

🔥 Best Cooking Methods:

• Braising: Sear cubes briefly for color, then simmer in stock or sauce for 1–2 hours until tender.
• Stew: Add vegetables and aromatics; let the beef slowly cook to release its buttery richness into the broth.
• Slow Cooker / Crockpot: Ideal for set-and-forget cooking; low heat preserves juiciness and intensifies flavor.

🚫 Avoid:

• Quick High-Heat Methods (like flash grilling or pan-searing only) – The connective tissue needs time to break down.
• Over-Seasoning Initially – A5 Wagyu naturally has a rich, savory taste, so go light on seasonings at first.
