Australian Wagyu Overview
The term ‘Wagyu’ refers to the Japanese breeds of cattle raised there for the highest grade of beef. However, cows that come from those genetics and are raised in other parts of the world also tend to carry the name. That’s how you end up with Australian Wagyu. This is a unique type of beef unlike anything else you’ve ever tried. It has the signature marbling and richness that comes from its Wagyu heritage hailing from Japan, but it also has a robust texture and milder flavor from being raised in the traditional Australian ranching method. Raising the cows on pasture provides a slightly leaner meat, making Australian Wagyu popular with people trying to fit beef into a specific diet. It’s still tender and juicy, but it’s unique enough that it’s a must-try.
Thanks to years of development, Australia boasts the largest population of Wagyu cattle outside of Japan. It’s often a more affordable alternative to Japanese beef with many of the same qualities that make the original breeds so esteemed. It’s also unique enough to try even if you’ve sampled Japanese Wagyu many times already. You can find both purebred and mixed breed Wagyu from Australia, giving you a chance to experience the rich flavor and marbling in a whole new way.
Some people prefer Australian Wagyu because they feel the cows have an even less stressful life than those raised in Japanese feedlots. These cows range on hundreds of acres of grassland in the most natural environment possible, leading to a slightly more developed texture that remains deliciously tender when grilled or smoked.
