Wagyu Zabuton Steak

One look at the intense marbling of the American Wagyu zabuton, also known as the Denver steak, gives you a hint at how it will taste. The abundant intramuscular fat translates to plentiful flavor and juiciness. This cut has a slightly subdued beefiness that is savory and buttery in both flavor and texture. In fact, meat scientists have found this is the 4th most tender of all beef cuts.

The name "zabuton" from the Japanese word for a flat and square pillow which is how the steak appears when served in Japanese cuisine. This cut is beautiful grilled as a whole steak and ideal for Japanese inspired dishes like shabu shabu (hot pot) or seared yakiniku style (similar to Korean BBQ).

The large section where we source the Denver steak has a shape that is not symmetrical, so this cut may have some variation in size and shape.
