A5 Wagyu Porterhouse vs. Traditional Porterhouse
While a traditional Porterhouse offers classic steakhouse balance, A5 Wagyu Porterhouse elevates the experience entirely. The Wagyu fat melts at low temperatures, delivering richness and tenderness far beyond conventional beef. This cut rewards restraint—smaller portions, gentler heat, and minimal seasoning. For a less rich experience, explore USDA Prime or Classic Porterhouse.
How to Cook (3 Proven Methods)
Target doneness: Rare to medium-rare. Overcooking renders excessive fat and diminishes Wagyu’s signature texture. Use a thermometer and controlled heat. See our Steak Temperature Chart.
1) Reverse-Sear (recommended)
- Cook gently at 225–250°F over indirect heat until just below target temperature.
- Sear briefly over moderate heat—avoid ripping flames.
- Angle the tenderloin away from the hottest zone.
2) Cast-Iron / Teppanyaki Style
- Sear in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Cook in short intervals; Wagyu fat renders quickly.
- Flip once and serve immediately.
3) Minimalist Grill (advanced)
- Use indirect heat almost exclusively.
- Finish with a very brief sear for color.
- Constant attention required.
Serving Suggestions
- Carve-and-share: slice thin across the grain for maximum enjoyment.
- Japanese tradition: flaky salt, fresh wasabi, optional soy.
- Minimal sides: rice or simple vegetables only.
Pro Tips
- Smaller portions: richness goes a long way.
- Lower heat: Wagyu fat melts quickly—control is everything.
- Serve immediately: texture is best hot and fresh.
Quality & Safety
- Ships frozen via cold-chain with insulated packaging and dry ice. See Shipping for cut-offs and delivery timing.
- On arrival, move directly to the freezer. Thaw gently in the refrigerator before cooking. Learn more in Meat Safety & Storage.
