Critical Success Points

  • Render Wagyu fat correctly – it provides the buttery flavor for the tacos
  • Grill the steak to rare; overcooking destroys the delicate texture of A5 Wagyu
  • Brush and grill tortillas quickly to avoid burning the butter

Safety Warnings

  • Charcoal grill reaches very high temperatures – use heat‑resistant gloves.
  • Rendered Wagyu fat is extremely hot and can splatter; handle with care.
