Description
1 piece T-Bone Steak with bone, after optimal dry aging flash frozen.
The T-Bone steak consists of the roast beef (striploin) and the filet. The T-shaped bone in the steak gives this cut its name. When the filet is large, the steak is often called a Porterhouse Steak. This cut is the absolute steakhouse classic and is enough for at least 2 people.
The drying (dry aging) of the beef back, the so-called English, intensifies the taste and the enzymatic maturation creates a special, partly nutty aroma and a special tenderness.

Wagyu F1 crossbreeding:
F1 Wagyu is a crossbreed of the well-known Wagyu cattle with a typical meat breed, such as the Simmental Fleckvieh, Black Angus or Pinzgauer cattle. F1 means that it is a direct cross between a purebred Wagyu cattle and another cattle breed. A purebred Wagyu cattle, on the other hand, would be called Fullblood Wagyu.
In Wagyu cattle, the intramuscular fat is particularly pronounced due to genetics and feeding, which makes the meat buttery tender and it melts in the mouth. When crossed with a classic meat breed, the intramuscular fat content decreases somewhat, but the meat flavour is all the more pronounced.
Wagyu means Japanese cattle and is not actually a breed in Japan, but a crossbreed. From the meat of Wagyu cattle from the Kobe region, the world-famous Kobe beef is produced after strict quality controls.
