What does freezing do beef of that quality? I tend to shy away from frozen proteins but imagine in this case all the fat makes it less of an issue.

also imagine real deal stuff from japan is always frozen before it makes its way here.

I’ve had fine luck with freezing mine when I don’t go local and do a huge order to save on the absurd overnight shipping costs. I always pull them out of the freezer and let them thaw in the refrigerator. Much better luck than say throwing it on the counter or in the sink.

Yeah the instructions are to slow thaw in the fridge for a few days. If you vacuum pack the individual steaks they keep just about forever in the freezer.

Every time I consider ordering a Japanese Wagyu steak for a special occasion I think it's going to be the one time I f*ck up my cook. :embar:

Whaddya use to vac pack?

Also, was going to poast the Joe Biden meat ban story in here as troll, but Google apparently has banned from its engine and only allows the corrections to show up. Too lazy to use an alternate engine.

Frozen proteins are everywhere. From fish to beef.

I was thinking of doing the same thing with a friend, but I am somewhat afraid of defrosting, cutting it up and then freezing it again. Are you cutting it frozen or defrosting first?
