Pro Tip: Share Your Costco Wagyu Beef

Wagyu is the Rolls Royce. It’s a luxurious and delicious cut, it’s also the higher fat content that makes it so flavorful and tender…so it’s more filling and you need (or might want) to eat less of it that you would a leaner cut. Plan on serving a slightly smaller portion than you would a traditional cut of lean steak.

Want to impress some guests? Serve some Costco New York Wagyu steak as an appetizer for a dinner party. Slice into portions and let everyone taste a small slice…you’ll be the host/hostess of the year…people don’t necessarily need to sit down to an entire plate of Wagyu to really enjoy and appreciate the luxury experience.
