The Chef's Touch

00:00The secret lies in three principles: the right temperature, the timing, the 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 built like a composition. Each color, each texture has its place.

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

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

Wagyu rib cap on a trio of green, white, and red rice

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
Take the Wagyu fillets out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking so they come to room temperature.
02
Pat the fillets dry with paper towels: a perfectly dry surface is essential to achieve a nice 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 in the pan without moving them. Sear for 90 seconds on the first side.
06
Flip, add the butter, crushed garlic, and herbs. Continuously baste with frothy butter for 60 to 90 seconds.
07
Remove the 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 the herb butter.
