Grilled Wagyu Beef Steak with Roasted Pepper Sauce is the second recipe that i’ve made beside my Slow Roasted Lamb Leg Steak with Barbecue Sauce once i meet up with my fellow foodblogger Tintin Samsyudin from Tinsyam. She purchased Tokusen Wagyu Steak for us from Hypermart Supermarket on Pejaten Village Mall. This tokusen wagyu topside got 4-5 marbling point. Tokusen Wagyu Beef is produced from imported Australian bred Wagyu cattle. Tokusen Wagyu Beef is the first Wagyu beef product that is produced and processed from an Indonesian feedlot and abattoir. Wagyu beef is commonly intensely marbled with softer fat, has higher percentages of monounsaturated fats, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and is lower in cholesterol than commodity beef. The combinations of these fats deliver a distinctive rich and tender flavor compared to other beef.

Me and Tintin Syamsyudin, Ph.D graduate food blogger who put 2 fingers above my head to made a bunny ear, LoL
Wagyu beef topside steak is quite lean, i mean the marble point is 4-5 out of 12. Wagyu beef steak is considered as a second grade beef cut instead of premium cut like tenderloin, sirloin or ribeye cut. Wagyu topside steak must be cooked medium done or below if you want it quite tender because it’s lack of distributed softer fat or marbled fat within the flesh. That’s why wagyu topside is usually cooked whole or in a very large chuck with slow oven roast technique until reached 60–65 °C or medium done in the middle or in the thickest part of the wagyu topside.
Medium well done Wagyu topside steak is surprisingly quite tender, actually this is out of my expectation. Even it’s not melted like my wagyu tenderloin with 8-9 marble point for my Wagyu Tenderloin Filet Mignon with Truffle Mashed Potato and Reduced Red Wine Demi Glace Sauce, but i didn’t found any difficulties for slice it and chew it. I even cook the other piece of wagyu topside until well done as it’s requested, the flesh is chewable but the texture slighly dry for my licking.
Roasted pepper sauce for the grilled wagyu beef made some kicking to the dish. For a presentation purpose, i made the roasted pepper sauce separatedly from red and also green bellpepper. I love the charred and caramelized roasted pepper all the way, i like to using it for making Roasted Pepper Pesto Sauce with addition of my Homemade Sun Dried Tomato. Beside the roasted pepper sauce, i add some pickled fresh green peppercorn to give some bursting sensation when we chew on it. I also serving the wagyu steak with Mashed Sweet Potato that i mixed with steamed russet potato, but this time my mashed sweet potato contain no cream on it. We also had 2007 Rosemount Grenache Shiraz red wine, slighly tangy and sourish hint but it’s still a nice accompany.
