Description

Wagyu Beef Chateaubriand 2.4kg is a 2.4kg Wagyu-cross chateaubriand — the thick centre cut of the beef fillet, the most prestigious roasting joint in classical French cuisine, elevated by the natural marbling of the Wagyu breed into something of extraordinary tenderness and flavour. At 2.4kg this is a magnificent sharing joint for four to six people.

About Our Artisan Wagyu Beef

These Wagyu products are produced from Wagyu-cross cattle raised on small, high-welfare farms using traditional Wagyu husbandry principles — careful feeding programmes, low-stress environments and the slow growth rates that allow natural marbling to develop throughout the muscle. While distinct from Japanese-born and raised Wagyu, these cuts deliver the characteristic richness, tenderness and luxurious marbling of the Wagyu breed in a form that is genuinely accessible for everyday luxury cooking and entertaining.

Wagyu beef requires a different approach to cooking than conventional beef. The extraordinary fat content means it cooks faster and at lower temperatures than you might expect — the fat begins to melt almost immediately in the pan. Use a dry, very hot pan with no added oil, cook for less time than you think you need, and rest generously. Japanese A5 Wagyu in particular is so rich that smaller portions are recommended — 100–150g per person is often sufficient as a standalone steak. Season only with good flaky sea salt.

How to Cook & Serve

To get the very best from Wagyu Beef Chateaubriand 2.4kg:

Allow 1 hour at room temperature before cooking — essential for a joint of this size.
Sear all over in a very hot pan with a little butter until golden on every surface, then transfer to a 200°C oven.
Roast for 20–25 minutes for medium-rare, checking with a thermometer — aim for 54°C at the centre.
Rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing into generous rounds — serve 2–3 slices per person.

Perfect Pairings

Wagyu Beef Chateaubriand 2.4kg pairs beautifully with:

Classic sauce Béarnaise — the definitive pairing for chateaubriand
Pommes purée or gratin dauphinoise
A truly great bottle — aged Burgundy, Pomerol or a fine Bordeaux
Sautéed wild mushrooms with shallots and Cognac

Storage & Preparation: Keep refrigerated and use by the date shown. Remove from packaging and allow to reach room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. Season with good flaky sea salt only — this beef needs nothing else. Use a dry pan with no added oil or fat. Any leftover cooked Wagyu keeps refrigerated for up to 2 days and is excellent served cold, thinly sliced.

However you cook it, Wagyu Beef Chateaubriand 2.4kg brings genuine Wagyu richness and marbling to the table — a luxurious centrepiece that elevates any occasion.

In the heart of Yorkshire, the Wagyu farm stands as a testament to the dedication and passion of a family committed to producing exceptional Wagyu beef. Established in 2019, this family-run farm seamlessly blends traditional farming methods with innovative feeding practices to deliver a product that is both unique and of the highest quality.

Traditional Farming Methods

The Wagyu cattle are reared outdoors, allowing them to graze freely on lush pastures. This natural environment ensures the animals lead stress-free lives, which is essential for developing the rich marbling characteristic of Wagyu beef. As the cattle mature, their diet is supplemented with a proprietary olive-based feed, a practice inspired by traditional Japanese methods. This olive feeding enhances the meat’s flavour and tenderness, imparting a distinctive buttery taste that sets it apart from conventional beef.

Specialised Diet: fed for 15 months on a mixture of maize silage (think malt and kimchi for animals), distillers grain, crushed barley (looks like porridge oaks) and an addition of olive feed for the last 3 and half months. To the exception of the olive, all the feed is produced on site – designed to enhance marbling and flavour.
