Icon XB Wagyu Ribeye Steaks – a pinnacle of Wagyu excellence from the elite Icon XB program, these F1 ribeyes blend full-blood Wagyu sires (predominantly Tajima Kuroge Washu lineage) with superior Australian dams for extraordinary marbling, buttery tenderness, and profound, beef-rich depth. Pasture-raised then finished for 12 months on a meticulously tailored grain program, each steak achieves Marble Score 5-6 (with exceptional consistency across limited-run carcasses), delivering melt-in-the-mouth succulence, clean finish, and luxurious richness that defines true premium Wagyu – hand-selected for unparalleled quality and flavour intensity.
Sourced from premium Australian Black Angus-influenced Wagyu with outstanding welfare standards, expertly hand-prepared by our family butcher team with over 100 years of tradition, these ribeye steaks elevate any meal to fine-dining status. Ideal for pan-searing, grilling, or reverse-searing to medium-rare perfection, they offer a sublime, indulgent experience that showcases the best of Australian Wagyu innovation – perfect for special occasions, celebrations, or treating yourself to something truly extraordinary.
Available as individual steaks in generous 10–12oz portions, one steak per pack, trimmed and ready for your pan or grill. Delivered fresh and suitable for freezing.
Bring the steaks to room temperature (about 1 hour out of the fridge) for even cooking.
Pat dry thoroughly and season simply with sea salt and black pepper (minimal seasoning lets the refined Wagyu marbling and flavour shine through).
For pan-searing: Heat a heavy-based pan over high heat until smoking hot, add a high-smoke-point oil or clarified butter, then sear 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal 52-55°C), turning once for a perfect crust. Baste with butter, garlic, and herbs in the final minutes to enhance the buttery richness.
For grilling/BBQ: Preheat grill to high/direct heat, sear 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (or to preferred doneness), moving to indirect if needed. The abundant marbling self-bastes for exceptional juiciness.
For reverse sear (ideal for thicker cuts): Roast low in oven at 110-120°C until internal 48-50°C (about 30-50 minutes), then sear hot 1-2 minutes per side for crust. Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
Rest loosely covered with foil for 5-10 minutes; this allows the marbling to redistribute juices for maximum tenderness and flavour explosion.
Slice against the grain if desired or serve whole to showcase the intricate intramuscular fat.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide. · Serve simply seasoned to highlight the buttery Wagyu richness, melt-in-the-mouth texture, and deep, clean beef intensity, or elevate with a light garlic herb butter, red wine reduction, or chimichurri, pair with roasted vegetables, potatoes, or a fresh salad for an unforgettable premium steak experience.
