Tom Hixson Wagyu Rib Joint

Here's what the judges of the Great Taste Awards 2023 had to say about our unique crossbred wagyu beef:

"We thought this wagyu was fabulous. It cut through like butter and the flesh was meltingly soft. There was a good proportion of fat left on it and this on its own had a great flavour. The meat was multi-layered in its complexity and we are not sure whether this was from the chocolate diet but that sweetness shone through. We could have happily eaten all of it (but we're not allowed!)

This steak has a very nicely developed, rich flavour and is superbly cooked with lovely caramelisation on the edges enhancing the experience. It is wonderfully tender and succulent, which delivers a most enjoyable eating experience.

This is a lovely looking steak with a good amount of fat to meat. Juicy and flavoursome.
We loved the innovation in the provenance of this beef. The flavour is a resounding applause to the pastures and welfare of the animal itself and the steak had a gorgeous umami finish."

We are excited to announce the launch of very own range of Wagyu beef. Expect melt in your mouth textures and a rich splendour found only in our exclusive range Tom Hixson Wagyu. Our master butchers hand cut each ribeye joint into the perfect single steak, so you don't have to! These convenient steaks are ideal for steak night as they are quick and easy to prepare and deliver an abundance of mouth-watering flavours, whether cooked on the grill or in a quick and easy pan fry.

In collaboration with our Irish farming partners, we have used our combined expertise and knowledge to produce a unique offering. This exclusive selection draws inspiration from the rich heritage and unparalleled flavour profile synonymous with the Wagyu breed whilst also adding new distinctive attributes.

We decided upon a Wagyu / Shorthorn cross, which has been reared stress-free on the open, grassy pastures of Ireland. Shorthorn are renowned themselves for producing marbled beef, so when crossed with Wagyu the results are sublime.

Their diet is supplemented in their final three months with chocolate, which adds a touch of sweetness to the bite.
