JORDAN VALLEY WAGYU BEEF
Jordan Valley Wagyu Beef is raised "free Range". Our cattle are free of hormones and any other means of force feeding. We have excellent well water, natural grasses and hay, and they are fed some grain. Our cattle have large pastures and so they are able to exercise and put the marbling on the meat.
Wagyu Beef is a legendary delicacy of Japan. The word Wagyu refers to all Japanese beef cattle (wa means Japanese and gyu means cattle). This is the breed that produces Kobe beef named for the city where the cattle were first bred 170 years ago. Wagyu is a horned breed and can be either red or black. Wagyu meat is striking because of its wonderful marbling which results in a never before experienced succulence that sends the taste buds reeling. The fat in the meat has more monosaturated fats and melts at room temperature which makes it low in cholesterol. Biochemistry tests by Washington State University on Wagyu fat indicate that the fat from this breed has a healthier fatty acid profile. In addition, this breed also has an unsaturated-to-saturated fat ratio of 2-1, instead of 1-1, which is characteristic of regular beef.
Cooking Kobe is very simple but do not treat it as you would any other piece of beef. First of all, you will need to let the chosen cut come to just under room temperature and then lightly season it with a basic pinch of salt and a rind of peppercorn if so desired or any other seasoning. A very hot cast iron pan or a very heated grill is this beef's best partner. A quick sear is what your looking for, giving you a rare finish. So not slowly heat this meat and DO NOT overcook it. You will be very disappointed if you try to achieve a well done piece of Kobe as all the flavour will melt out with the marbling. As for the nutritional values of Wagyu, let the facts speak for themselves. Genetically the animal produces 20 -25% more unsaturated fats than other Canadian breeds. The intramuscular marbling has a 2:1 ratio of monosaturated fatty acids that contribute greatly to the flavour of Wagyu beef. We have a variety of cuts on hand for your taste buds to explore.
