Sorry mate I just went in to one of their stores and asked them to cut me one a good 2 to 2.5 inches thick. I would say that everyone is very nice so i'd definitely recommend sending them an email or picking up the phone if you're not local.

That steak looks great, had a delivery from them this week with a cote de boeuf for tomorrow, thanks for the recommendation.k me they're brilliant. Really cant recommend them enough. Great quality meat. Also got some of their sausages, a chicken and a rack of pork loin which at £14 for a 5 bone seems really good value.

Mr UTH's birthday today, so here's tonight's badboy resting for an hour or two:
A good looking piece of beef that.
I prefer more of a sear than people seem to be posting on here. I'm happy to sacrifice a little of the meat beneath the surface to get a really crusty outside.
I sear in a very heavy large cast iron pan over a wok burner on the hob or with a 6 kHw infra red gas burner on the BBQ. I don't think you can get non-stick cast aluminium pans hot enough (without damaging them) and they don't retain enough heat to sear a nice piece of meat.

UTH, the steak looks spot on, and above, I find gas is useless for a hot sear unless you have one of those infrared areas. That's my experience with a Weber anyway... well made but I should have looked past the brand and bought elsewhere.
Anyway, something a bit different. A piece of Wagyu, served as a dish in a tasting menu. Whenever I have it I'm reminded why it's worth the money - the flavour and texture is sublime. If anyone is interested it was at a restaurant named Fera in Palma. I recommend with no reservations, but you will need to make one

Just to clarify is that A5 Japanese Wagyu or some Australian/American version? Looks delicious though edging towards pretentious presentation.Anyway, something a bit different.

Japanese A5. Compares directly to the same I've had in it's country of origin. 
It's fine dining so wonderful presentation is to be expected and adds to the experience

Mental note made, my Dad lives there most of the year. I'll treat him to dinner next time I'm visiting.Anyway, something a bit different. A piece of Wagyu, served as a dish in a tasting menu.

O/Twww.ferapalma.com strongly into 2 star territory and if they keep it up they'll be there. Left a review in the international section for what it's worth.
Fosh raised his game since my last visit but Fera all the way.
