I don't know the full deal with wagyu....just that it tastes amazing. Being a rare eater (for real, my order is "as rare as the chef will let it out of the kitchen") I don't tend to get it. However, when I read up the ways I saw to cook were all crazy-short. Shorter than I normally cook. Tried the way I chose from the videos and next time I will do the same way I normally do my steaks.
Mrs FMe is not usually one that eat it as rare as I do and she was concerned when she saw how red these were. She loved them both and I did as well. I still will put in the oven for a bit next time so I'm sure it will cook a bit more but it was really quite good this way - the remaining fat in the gold one tasted like fucking butter.

Wouldn't that be referred to as blue? (I could be wrong.) Not a steak eater, but probably because my mom always killed all meat-- very dry, very leathery. Couldn't quite go mooing on my plate, but I need to move away from the idea of the bad steak I grew up with.
Seafood sunday is wahoo, grilled cauliflower, Cole slaw and shrimp cocktail

Love wahoo. Nice.
Amy, I learned long ago to not try and put a name on it and expect everyone to agree. Blue is a good description based on my opinion but I found that using that (and other attempts) description produced varying results.
Used to eat a good steak out at least once a week - martini and steak dinner or lunch with an old boss every week on top of personal purchases.
Landed on something that could easily be related.
I order "as rare as the chef will let it out of the kitchen" and typically the person taking the order says whatever their version of "blue" is...and I always repeat back to them - "please, as rare as the chef will let it out, whatever you call that, thank you." Don't think I have been dissatisfied save for one occasion at a Fleming's. It was the only time in a long, long, time I complained about a steak. Shit was medium well I ate it and chewed on the comped steak as well as my martinis and a $100 off next visit. They took that error by the poor guy very seriously.

Do steaks run into the runny egg problem? Is it just Ohio that wouldn't allow runny egg yolks if you ordered them in a restaurant? (I grew up dipping my toast.) Is there some food safety concern they have with very rare steaks? I mean, I figure as long as you are ordering it, you aren't going to go to some questionable joint like Golden Corral asking them to bust out a blue steak.
(A few decades ago, I called the health department in on a Golden Corral. Got a gift certificate. Knew it was a buffet, but M referred to it as a cattle lot style feeding situation after we got there and saw what was going on. The health department shut them down permanently.)

I’m glad those came out the way you like them. It sounds like they were perfect for you. They look great on the plate, but they are a bit too rare for my personal taste. I like mine just slightly pink. I have the opposite problem as you in restaurants. A lot of chefs don’t like to cook the steaks medium well. I remember once having to send back a steak to be cooked a bit more three times. I felt really bad about it because I am not a person that often complains at restaurants but I just couldn’t eat it that rare. I am sure the chef thought it was a travesty

Not sure. I know I couldn't eat eggs cooked all the way and like them. I do see a variety of cooks.....some where it is damn near cold in the middle and some where it is what I would call medium-rare.
I once microwaved a raw venison steak for one minute and ate it. Was fucking great.

Yeah that is tough. You pay for it so should get it how you like, or as close as they can get.
That is a travesty, though.

So I'm up in this Hobbit glamping site for a night for my niece's birthday. I saw on their website they had a wood fired pizza oven so I packed my gear and went to work.

Wow. That looks great. What does the inside of the Hobbit hut look like?

That steak looks amazing. Such a nice, crispy looking char on the outside. Did you sear them in a pan?

It was just a bedroom. Nice though. It was glamping, so there were public compost toilets, but the place is small so it wasn't that bad. They did have a Game of Thrones bathroom. Strange but funny as hell and kinda cool.

The iron throne! Awesome.
Seared those steaks on stainless, per the videos I saw. I will do on cast iron, the way I normally do steaks, the next time. Iron in the oven to 550, them on the stove for a quick sear on each side, then back in the oven, quickly.

Cast iron, rare - although for burgers it is typically more cooked than steaks.

(Pizza looks good too...)

This was all on the stovetop.
