A unique twist on a Japanese BBQ favourite—this wagyu tongue is cut thicker for a hearty bite and scored with a diamond pattern to let sauces and marinades soak in. Juicy and flavourful, it grills beautifully for a rich, satisfying mouthful.

Cooking guide (simple + restaurant-style)
Best doneness: medium-rare to medium (tongue stays tender with a quick, hot sear).
Grill / BBQ / Hotplate
Bring steak to near room temp (10–15 min), pat dry.
Preheat grill to high. Lightly oil the grill, not the steak.
Season simply — salt and pepper, or just salt for a clean beef flavour.
Sear hard on each side; tongue cooks fast even when thick.
Flip once, then rest 3–5 minutes.
Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Cast-iron pan
Heat pan to very high, add minimal oil.
Quick sear both sides to build colour, then rest before slicing.
Optional: finish with a small knob of butter or Wagyu fat + garlic for basting.
Tip: If the tongue steak has a natural curve or uneven thickness, gently score the surface to keep it flat on the grill and ensure an even sear.
