How to Make Kobe Steaks at Home

Since Kobe Steaks are one of the rarest steaks to come by, many people want to know how they can cook it in their own house. The most important fact that should be noted is that you should not treat Kobe Steaks like all other beef because it will not turn out the way it should.

• To achieve good Kobe Steaks you should use an open flame on a preheated cast iron pan or grill. You have to be careful not to let the steak remain in contact with the heat too long or all of the fat will melt off.
• The goal of this method is to have a quick sear of thin pieces in a very hot flame. You’re trying to sear the outside to make it crispy while leaving the inside raw.
• The meat is very fragile when being cooked in the heat. Remember that Kobe Steak and well done do not go well together.

The Secret of the Cattle

The Cattle for Kobe Steaks are fed beer during the summer months to help stimulate their appetite. During the summer months the cattle’s food intake declines because of the combination of fat cover, temperature and humidity. The massaging is done to reduce muscle stiffness. It’s believed that when the muscles are less stiff that the tenderness of the steak increases.
