Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Olive Sanuki Wagyu steaks — Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking and optimal tenderness.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a more intense flavor, marinate the steaks in the umami glaze for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
  • Serve the steak with a side of steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Experiment with different types of honey to add subtle variations to the glaze.
  • Allow the steaks to rest after cooking to ensure the juices redistribute and the meat remains tender.

Serving advice

Serve the Olive Sanuki Wagyu steaks sliced, drizzled with the remaining umami glaze, and accompanied by a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sliced steaks on a plate, slightly overlapping, and drizzle the umami glaze over them. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions or sesame seeds for an added touch of color and texture.
