Wagyu Beef
Quote:
Not only is it a gastronomic delight, but it’s healthy for you too. Health experts have discovered the mono-unsaturated to saturated fat ratio is higher in Wagyu than in other beef and, the saturated fat contained in Wagyu is different. Forty percent is in a version called stearic acid, which is regarded as having a minimal impact in raising cholesterol levels. The profile of marbled Wagyu beef is more beneficial and healthier to human health.
Wagyu is also higher in a type of fatty acid called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Wagyu beef contain the highest amount of CLA per gram of any foodstuff – about 30% more than other beef breeds – due to higher linoleic acid levels. Foods that are naturally high in CLA have fewer negative health effects.

Wet or dry aged beef? I prefer to pay a bit more for dry, or dry age it in the fridge.

The biggest difference between the wet and dry aging methods is while both have an effect on tenderness, only dry aging intensifies flavor.

Native Americans used to float bloated buffalo down a river then consume the meat. The women sometimes cut open the udder to drink the milk. Grass fed of course 
I have seen skirt steak "Fajita" that comes close to wagyu, at least in the marbling. It's pricey, $7 to $11 a pound at the local Mexican Market. |
