How to Defrost Wagyu

Put Wagyu beef in the coldest part of your refrigerator, typically the bottom shelf, and maintain a temperature of 32°F to 40°F (0°C to 4°C). Allow the beef to thaw for several hours or even overnight, depending on the thickness of the cut. Thinner cuts may take only a few hours, while thicker ones might require a full day or longer. Periodically check the beef to see if it has fully thawed. It should be soft and no longer feel frozen in the center.

＊Do Not Rush＊

Avoid using a microwave or hot water to speed up the thawing process, as this can lead to uneven thawing and negatively affect the meat's texture and flavor.
