WAGYU THICK SKIRT/HANGAR/ONGLET

400 Days Grain-Fed Wagyu Hanger Steak

The 400 days grain-fed Wagyu Hanger Steak is a rare and flavour-packed cut prized for its rich marbling and deep, beefy intensity. Sourced from premium Wagyu cattle that have been carefully grain-fed for over 400 days, this cut develops a luxurious tenderness and buttery mouthfeel while maintaining its distinct, hearty beef flavour. Often referred to as the “butcher’s steak,” the hanger sits close to the diaphragm, where it absorbs robust flavour and natural juiciness.

Texture and Flavour Profile:
The long grain structure gives it a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness when cooked correctly, with bold umami notes and a lingering sweetness from the extended grain finishing. Its marbling renders beautifully during cooking, creating a luscious, juicy bite that embodies the essence of Wagyu excellence.

Recommended Cooking Methods:

• Grilling / Charcoal BBQ: Ideal for unlocking the steak’s deep flavour. Sear over high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, then rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
• Pan-Seared: Cook in a cast iron pan with minimal oil to develop a caramelised crust. Finish with butter, garlic, and herbs for added aroma.
• Sous Vide: For precision, cook at 54°C (129°F) for 1.5–2 hours, then sear briefly on a hot pan to create a crisp outer crust while keeping the inside perfectly medium-rare.
• Broiling: A quick high-heat broil works well for even cooking and a slightly smoky char.

Serving Suggestion:
Best enjoyed medium-rare to medium, sliced thinly against the grain. Pair it with roasted vegetables, truffle mash, or a red wine jus to highlight the steak’s natural richness.
