Fullblood Wagyu Bistecca Marbling Score 9+ Stone Axe - 1kg
This Marble Score 9+ Fullblood Wagyu Bistecca by Stone Axe is the culmination of the finest Fullblood Wagyu beef on offer in Australia, beautifully prepared by our master butchers.
The much admired and iconic Bistecca consists of the tenderloin and sirloin attached together on the bone, giving you a contrast in tenderness and flavour. The sheer beauty alone of this thick cut T-bone will delight all your senses.
Stone Axe Fullblood Wagyu breeding herds are dispersed across several breeding farms in New South Wales and Victoria, all of which are managed by Stone Axe’s own staff. Each property is situated 1000m above sea level, resulting in a climate that enhances conditions for the breeding and raising of Fullblood Wagyu.
The cattle can grow and mature to their potential with access to natural shelter, clean fresh air, water, and pasture, all in a low stress environment. Every Stone Axe Wagyu animal has its own unique identification tag, allowing for careful monitoring of each animal’s development, and traceability across the whole life of the product.
The Preparation
Follow these simple steps:
If your Bistecca is frozen, refrigerate it for 2-3 days to allow it to slowly defrost.
Remove it from its packaging, pat dry with paper towel and allow to come to room temperature.
Liberally season all sides of the steak with salt just before you cook it.
BBQ - Sear
Using a BBQ is a great way to cook your T-Bone.
Preheat the BBQ to hot. Sear the steak on all sides, including edges. Lower the temperature to medium (if a gas barbecue), close the hood and cook for 15-20 minutes.
If you are working with coal / wood barbecues it is important that you stack your coals on a gradient so you have a more intense heat on one side and gentler heat on the other. This will allow you to have more control over your cooking speed.
Always check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer to ensure you get the degree of doneness you're after. See below for our reference guide of when to pull it off the grill. Let rest in a warm place covered loosely with foil for 15 minutes.
Serving
Hold the bone with one hand and slice along its length to remove the meat from the bone. Then slice the meat across the grain into thick slices. Season with salt and serve.
