"mostly it's just mediocre" I find that hard to believe.. Just saying!
I have a friend I'm here visiting from the states and I reverse seared with smoke some 5-6 wagyu Tri-Tips with salt, pepper, garlic and parsley.. Then slathered in Best Foods to brown up.. BF worked great in fact by accident it made amazing grate marks.. When we finally sliced it up, watching him eat it was almost comical.. Food Porn for sure and his face was saying Oral Orgasm to say the least.
He was a career manager at Four Season Resorts and said it was as good as any beef he's ever put in his mouth!!
KK does it again!
