How to cook the perfect steak
Season simply with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot pan (or grill) over high heat to rare or medium-rare, then rest the steak before slicing to lock in tenderness. Because Akami is lean, avoid overcooking. Serve with sea salt, cracked pepper, or a little wasabi and soy to let the beef flavour shine.
