I’ve had Walmart Wagyu steaks exactly like these and I’m sorry but comparing it to Australian Wagyu and calling it on par with that is wild. Sure, Australian Wagyu is more expensive but that’s to be expected because of the cost of importing it here to the US. It’s not comparable IMO. Don’t know where you’ve bought your Australian Wagyu from but I wouldn’t consider them close. Is the Walmart American Wagyu bad? Absolutely not but it tastes like a $25 steak which is to be expected while the Australian Wagyu takes like a $75 steak. You’re obviously entitled to your opinion but I respectfully disagree
Fake. Wagyu in the USA is from Texas, not by Walmart.
…. watch out for that Japanese beef !!! 😮 … I'll stick to Texas Cattle U.S.D.A. cuts. … besides, I've seen some people grow extra limbs and extremities, after eating Wagyu !! 😉👍🙏🙌✝️😜🐂
Those do not look like USDA prime equivalent.
1/2 inch
its raw and you probably in florida im not surprised.
I’m sold! Hope they carry these at my local Walmart to try.
I was gifted a A5 Japanese and I was a bit nervous to cook it. I did the same technique .
Bless you and the time you put into grilling those steaks i myself do NOT have the patience for that salt toss it on the grill flip rest eat
Dude you nailed that cook! Those steaks turned out perfect! It’s hard to cook a thin steak like that!
Super glad that you tested these steaks out. I was also very curious just how good a Walmart steak be.
Way way way longer than 30 seconds on both sides. Come on man
A couple of years ago my coworker mentioned that there are indeed wagyu steaks at walmart and I was surprised lol. Do keep in mind that these are American Wagyu rather than Japanese nor Australian. Still amazing, readily available at your local walmart, and far cheaper compared to $50-$100+/lb for jp/aus.
I didn't know that Walmart was selling Wagyu. They seem a bit thin for sure. I'll have to look, but my cooking method for steak would probably obliterate a steak that thin. Thanks for letting us know!
If it's sold at Walmart it's NOT real wagyu. You got ripped off.
Its false advertising!
Wagyu means Japanese cow, so American Japanese cow, doesn't exist
Never get that steak at my Walmart in deptford nj
No chance any fancy steak is under 40 bucks in new jersey
I will NEVER buy Walmart meat again! ‘Fresh’ meat and turned out to smell like garbage and threw it out. DON’T BUY WALMART MEAT!!! 🤮
Those steaks look good. Seems like decent meat with a solid technique. Keeping my eyes open at Walmart. Thanks
Walmart doesn't raise beef. J.R. Simplot Company. That is Idaho for those of you in Kentucky.
I get them from time to time but hunt for the nicer looking ones. I feel a couple years ago they were even better. In the past I had a NY strip from a Walmart that I could cut with a fork. That was only once however.
I always look to see at Walmart if the have any of the petite filet mignon steaks. Two of them is perfect for my wife and I. There is too much fat (flavor) in that American Wagyu for her…
You can put the WaGu name on anything doesnt make it WaGu.
It’s all a fukin sham. I’ve seen Costco primes that have a ton of beautiful marbling, then the same Costco steaks that have a 1/3 of the same, then I go to some grocery store and their choice looks like select or even lower with NO marbling. There’s no regulation or respectable grading practice. It’d all a bunch of bs.
Well done! Not surprisingly it is not a miracle, not too good to be true, but nice to know that it is a worthy experiment. Thanks!
I’m on carnivore diet. This looks yum! Eat Meat!
Thanks
Greg, I’d love to hear your opinion on reverse versus forward sear. Or maybe a comparison video??
I'm definitely gonna try this. I live right by Walmart. Those steaks looked absolutely delicious. Great video, Greg.
That fat looks like that “meat glue” I’ve seen videos about. Hopefully it’s not but it is Walmart
Great review Greg – Good is good. – Thanks. – Cheers
Greg another great video, if I didn’t know better I would say that was a “Napa Style “ salt box? Thank you for your videos, just retired my ol’ Weber kettle and bought my first SNS grill.
Thanks for another great video! You friend from Napa California
Yummy .. 🙂👍🍻
the last steak i had from Walmart looked great … but it was scraps meat glued it tasted awful and literal textured like it was strips wrapped together … ill never buy steaks there again .. ill go to farm and buy from them
I just checked the website and your info on prices is inline. I also noticed they have wagyu ground beef and jerky? Also, they have A5 14 ounce for $229. There’s a NY strip about the same price per pound as the ribeye but with an average price around $18 or so.
Pretty impressive for steaks from Wal-Mart. Nicely done. Cheers, Greg! 👍👍✌️
Well this is something to consider. Now onto technique. I've not heard of cold grate cooking. Interesting concept, I'll have to try it sometime. I do most steaks on my Webber kettle. I do them directly over the coals through the entire cook. Trick is I don't use entire chimney of coals and I spread them out a bit plus I use some small sized maple twigs that are green stemed on top of the coals to both cool the coals some and get a carmilized sugar type flavors on the meat. Very easy to do but as a technique it has a lot going for it. Anyway great video, have a great day 🌤 😀 🥩🔥🍻
