The Chef's Touch

00:00The secret lies in three principles: the right temperature, timing, and resting.

00:35Prepare each element cold. The meat comes out of the fridge thirty minutes before.

01:15The heat must be controlled. Never rush the cooking.

01:50The plate is constructed like a composition. Each color, each texture has its place.

02:20Wagyu is ready when its shine disappears under a light crust.

02:55Serve immediately. The meat should never wait.

Traditional rendered tallow recipe: the ancient secret of great French chefs for searing, confiting, and frying

Ingredients

2 × 200 gWagyu fillet
30 gUnsalted butter
to tasteFleur de sel
to tasteFreshly ground pepper
2Crushed garlic cloves
2 sprigsFresh thyme
1 sprigFresh rosemary
1 tbspGrapeseed oil

Preparation

01
Remove Wagyu fillets from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
02
Pat the fillets dry with paper towels: a perfectly dry surface is essential for a beautiful crust.
03
Season generously with fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper on both sides.
04
Heat a cast iron pan until it smokes. Add a drizzle of oil.
05
Place the fillets without moving them. Sear for 90 seconds on the first side.
06
Flip, add butter, crushed garlic, and herbs. Continuously baste with foaming butter for 60 to 90 seconds.
07
Remove fillets from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes on a warm plate — this step is crucial.
08
Slice against the grain and serve immediately, drizzled with herb butter.
