Kobe Beef Online

What sets Kobe beef apart from all other meat? The answer is that Kobe beef is simply the most delicate, tender and flavorful beef on the planet. When you taste this exquisite delicacy, you'll see why gastronomes and culinary critics around the world have long hailed it as the gourmet holy grail. Kobe beef comes from Wagyu cattle, which are raised on sake, beer and liquor, fed special grains and massaged to create the most tender meat possible.

Kobe beef is called "white steak" in Japan, where it originated and still remains the culinary gold standard. This nickname originates in the thick marbling of white fat that is present in every cut of Kobe beef. This marbling imparts the cooked meat with incredible flavor and tenderness. Wagyu cattle are prized for their ability to produce this type of beef and are now raised in various regions around the world.

Allen Brothers, the top source for fine meats since 1893, exclusively carries the best in American Wagyu beef. This Kobe-style beef is hands down the best beef you'll find outside of Kobe, Japan. It is juicy and succulent, delicate and rich, and is simple to prepare. In fact, the easiest way to enjoy Wagyu beef is by slicing it thin and then quickly searing it in a very hot pan or over the grill.

The Japanese prefer to serve Kobe beef sashimi, raw slices of the meat that are often served with a Ponzu or similar sauce for dipping. Wagyu beef, however, is also excellent when grilled, broiled or roasted, or ground and cooked as a steak burger. Browse the Allen Brothers website for plenty of preparation ideas.
