Tony’s American Wagyu, also known as “Kobe-Style” beef, is renowned for its exceptional marbling, tenderness, and flavor that enhances the steak-eating experience. You can find various cuts of American Wagyu at all Tony’s locations now!
The Beef Marbling Score (BMS) is a grading system used to evaluate the amount and distribution of intramuscular fat, or marbling, in beef carcasses. Marbling refers to the white streaks of fat within the muscle tissue, which contributes to the flavor, tenderness, and juiciness of the meat.
The BMS scale typically ranges from 1 to 12, with higher numbers indicating greater amounts of marbling. Each number on the scale corresponds to specific visual criteria, such as the size and distribution of the marbling within the meat.
Beef with higher BMS scores typically commands higher prices due to its superior tenderness, flavor, and overall quality. The BMS is essential in grading Wagyu beef, where abundant marbling is a defining characteristic of the breed.
Tony’s carries American Wagyu measuring between 7 and 10 BMS. This is over three times the amount of marbling in a USDA Prime Steak.
American Wagyu Beef is well-known for its health benefits due to its high concentration of monounsaturated fats, which can help lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. It’s also rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids, which possess anti-inflammatory properties, promote joint health, and enhance brain function.
Our Wagyu cattle are finished fed 400+ days of feed and often finish out at around 1200 lbs. – this is over four times what the average cattle in the US are fed out for. These animals are fed at a much slower rate on a 100% vegetarian diet, leading these animals to put marbling on at a much slower, consistent rate, leading to a much more abundant uniform marbling than conventional beef. After harvesting the cattle, the meat is aged for 21 days, creating a well-developed flavor that is supremely tender.
Authentic Japanese Wagyu comes from the highly revered Kuroge-washu (Japanese Black) cattle with a pure bloodline. It is common to mix Japanese Black with other bloodlines, such as American Angus, to produce a whole new category of Wagyu beef known as American Wagyu.
Tony’s American Wagyu cattle are categorized as F1. F1 Wagyu are 50% Wagyu and 50% Black Angus, which brings a more robust steak flavor enhanced by crossbreeding with American cattle.
In addition, our American Wagyu cattle are raised with no antibiotics or growth hormones to ensure healthy living and the highest quality product possible.
Cooking Wagyu beef is like cooking other types of beef, and due to its high amounts of marbling, Wagyu is very forgiving.
