Bring to room temperature for 30-45 minutes. Season with sea salt only — the Wagyu marbling provides all the flavour needed. Sear over high heat in a cast iron pan — 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Wagyu fat has a lower melting point than standard beef so a slightly cooler pan than normal works well. Rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Standard grass-fed sirloin has a thin fat cap and moderate marbling. Our Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu sirloin has significantly more intramuscular fat — the fine marbling that runs through the meat itself — producing a richer, more complex flavour and a noticeably different texture. The eating experience is in a different league.

Our Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu cattle are raised on lush pastures across the British Isles by a collective of passionate Wagyu farmers. Raised in a low-emission, pasture-focused system with additional feed grown on the farm to reduce food miles. Hand-selected from the top 1% of cattle at slaughter.

No — Japanese A5 Wagyu has the world's highest marbling scores and is produced under very specific conditions in Japan. Our Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu uses Wagyu genetics crossed with British breeds, raised on British Isles pastures. The result is a distinctly British Wagyu with excellent marbling, a cleaner flavour profile and an ethical, sustainable provenance.
