12 Sep Celebrate Braai Day with a Wagyu Steak
Braai Day is more than just another public holiday breaking up the monotony of work and responsibility. This special day marks the celebration of culture, heritage, tradition and beliefs amongst each and every South African citizen. It just so happens to be a day when we get to celebrate something we as South Africans have all come to love; a lekker braai with the people we cherish most.
While South Africa is blessed with its sheer variety of quality meats, there is simply nothing better than a delectable piece of A-Grade Wagyu Steak. Let’s break down just how much of an impact our selection of Wagyu steaks can have on your braai day celebration!
- Wagyu Rump Steak
There is something special about the simplicity of a rump steak. These versatile steaks are a treat, no matter how well done you enjoy your steak! While we always advise to go light with the seasoning/flavoring when preparing your Wagyu Rump steak, a darn good mushroom or pepper sauce will send your taste buds soaring with pleasure and beautifully compliment the natural tastiness of the meat.
- Wagyu Sirloin Steak – A Meat Lover’s Dream
Straight off the bat, everybody loves a good sirloin steak. Our selection of Wagyu sirloin steaks will provide you with optimal fat, a softer texture than that of a rump steak and the flavor associated with an incredible piece of Wagyu meat. Sirloin is also a perfect choice for the kiddies, due to its tender nature. Serve with sautéed mushrooms, asparagus, baked potatoes and Brussels sprouts.
- Wagyu Fillet Steak
Fillet steak has the potential to rewire your taste buds. The melt-in-your-mouth texture of this renowned steak allows for an incredible main course. In fact, fillet can be used as an incredible starter or quick nibble; ranging from Carpaccio-style starters or fine cut strips for a quick nibble. You can never go wrong with our Wagyu fillet steaks, so ensure that you grab your share of this versatile piece of meat.

Preparing your wagyu steaks and burgers on a braai grid is an essential way of preparing these delicate meats.
