Prep: 15 min | Cook: 1 hr 25 min | Total: 1 hr 50 min
Cost: $23.70 total, $23.70 per serving
Ingredients
- 1 pound Wagyu Beef Tallow (high‑quality Wagyu tallow, solid at room temperature)
- 1 ounce Unflavored Gelatin (powdered, no added flavor)
- 1 piece Beef Steak (8‑10 oz ribeye, sirloin, or other preferred cut, trimmed)
- 1 piece Vacuum Seal Bag (food‑grade, size large enough for the steak)
Instructions
Melt tallow and dissolve gelatin
Add the 1 pound of Wagyu beef tallow to a saucepan, heat gently, and stir in the 1 ounce of unflavored gelatin. Using a digital thermometer, bring the mixture to at least 257°F until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: 257°F
Cool the tallow‑gelatin mixture
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to about 90°F. You can place the pot in an ice bath and stir occasionally to speed cooling.
Time: PT15M
Temperature: 90°F
Prepare steak and vacuum bag
Place the steak on a cutting board. Pour roughly 1/4 cup of the cooled tallow‑gelatin mixture over the steak, ensuring it coats the surface. Transfer the steak and any excess liquid into the vacuum seal bag and seal it airtight.
Time: PT5M
Infuse fat in the refrigerator
Lay the sealed bag flat in the refrigerator (≈40°F) and let it sit for 1 hour. The liquid tallow will be drawn into the muscle fibers by the gelatin.
Time: PT1H
Temperature: 40°F
Finish and scrape excess fat
Remove the bag from the fridge, open it, and take out the steak. Using a sharp knife, gently scrape any solidified tallow that remains on the surface. Pat the steak dry; it now shows visible marbling similar to A5 Wagyu.
Time: PT5M
Optional – Cook the steak
Season the steak lightly with salt and pepper and sear in a hot pan or grill to your desired doneness. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Time: PT10M
