Wagyu Silverside: A Gourmet Cut from Grid Iron Meat

What is Wagyu Silverside?

Wagyu silverside is a cut from the hindquarter of the cow, specifically from the outside of the rear leg. Known for its lean quality yet rich marbling, Wagyu silverside offers a balance of tenderness and robust beef flavour. At Grid Iron Meat, our Wagyu silverside is sourced from F2 Wagyu cattle reared on North Yorkshire farms, ensuring top-notch quality and ethical sourcing.

Cooking Tips

• Roasting: Perfect for roasting; keep it low and slow to maintain juiciness and tenderness.
• Braising: Braising enhances the meat’s flavour and tenderness, making it ideal for pot roasts.
• Slicing Thin: When cooked, slice thinly against the grain to maximise tenderness.

Nutritional Information

Wagyu silverside, like other Wagyu cuts, is rich in monounsaturated fats, which are healthier than saturated fats. It also provides essential nutrients such as protein, iron, and B vitamins, making it a nutritious and delicious choice.

Perfect Pairings

• Red Wine: Pair with full-bodied red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
• Seasonal Vegetables: Serve with roasted or steamed vegetables such as green beans, asparagus, or baby carrots.
• Herbs and Spices: Enhance the flavour with a rub of cracked black pepper, sea salt, garlic, and thyme.

What is F2 Wagyu?

F2 Wagyu refers to the second generation of crossbred Wagyu cattle. The term “F2” indicates that these cattle are the offspring of F1 Wagyu cattle, which are a first-generation crossbreed typically between a full-blood Wagyu and another breed, often Angus.

Key Points About F2 Wagyu:

• Heritage: F2 Wagyu cattle are the progeny of F1 Wagyu, meaning they carry more Wagyu genetics and traits, particularly the high marbling and tenderness that Wagyu beef is known for.
• Quality: F2 Wagyu often exhibits improved marbling and flavour compared to F1, approaching the quality of purebred Wagyu while still being more accessible in terms of cost.
• Breeding: The process involves breeding an F1 Wagyu (50% Wagyu genetics) with another Wagyu, resulting in cattle that are 75% Wagyu.

Benefits of F2 Wagyu:

• Enhanced Marbling: With a higher percentage of Wagyu genetics, F2 Wagyu boasts superior marbling, which enhances juiciness and taste.
• Tenderness: The beef is exceptionally tender, making it a premium choice for those seeking a high-quality eating experience.
• Versatility: F2 Wagyu can be used in various cooking methods, from grilling and roasting to stir-frying, while retaining its rich flavour and tenderness.

In summary, F2 Wagyu offers a balance of quality and affordability, providing a premium beef experience with the hallmark characteristics of Wagyu.
