          Nah goto Costco and get their meat.

          Their beef tenderloin is ~$60/kg works out around $12-$15/steak and infinitely better, it's like a $60-80 restaurant steak (we eat it weekly instead of takeaway).

          Them on your birthday get some of their $80/kg stuff and since you dont need to buy 3kgs, you can get 2 bottles of wine ;-)

          he's not referring to his income as disposable, he's referring to his disposable income. It's a technical term, it means income after taxes. Technically I think he's referring to discretionary income though.

            @Aequitas: You're right.

            So in fact my issue is with the aetiology of disposable income as a term that has stuck in personal finance. It's never been more of a problem then now when a majority are laden with consumer debt and high lifestyle creep.

            You probably thought this was okay because that other commenter was jv and others would probably condone you, or worse pile on.

            I pay attention, but have never worried about, my personal finances. When I hear someone refer to a part of their income as disposable in a deal on $100/kg steak, I'm reflexively concerned for another.

            • Dandaman21 on 12/08/2021 - 06:04

I'm off to see what else I can spend my DISPOSABLE income on. (I see someone has already explained to you what that means, so hopefully this time it's less triggering now that you understand).

      Absolutely. I've picked up similar grades and it's extremely noticeable. You also don't need a large serving as it's very rich. And, due to the high marbling it's harder to over-cook (you want it just on the rare side of medium to allow the fat to render). That said my comment would apply to actual MB9, sounds like there are questions around this suppliers quality.

    • clubhonda on 11/08/2021 - 09:52

      Probably not much at this level. These are considered at the bottom of wagyu quality and maybe only a slight improvement over the standard aldi/coles meat. On the link below, the signature range on the far right is where it will give you an incredible experience. You can see the big difference is marbling.

      http://www.mayurastation.com/labels/

      The level of marbling on the steaks in the link is really quite mediocre. But in saying that, the price is pretty cheap.

            @sammyla: Wagyu cows get treated much better than regular cows, especially in japan, even getting massages. I guess that maybe wagyu wasn't for you, not every food is going to be everyones cup of tea. For instance I don't particular consider truffle to be anything special. It's definitely not a trick. I would still recommend everyone at least try it. Maybe like you, it won't be for them, but maybe like a lot of other people, they find it amazing and so much better than regular, like I do. I rarely buy regular beef steaks, just have wagyu (albeit less often, since its more expensive).

              @sammyla: @sammyla We're clearly on the same minds here! Many Australians have no idea how much of a food paradise Japan is, and how high the culinary standard is. Japanese people respect and will pay for food on a level that most Australians have no idea about, and you get some clowns here making stupid comments. And within Australia, most of us will never get to enjoy the best cuts or the best products, because they'll all get shipped overseas to countries where they respect, and will pay the right price for it. Our best lobsters, abalone, produce etc, most Australians will never pay the same prices that Americans, Japanese or HK, or Singaporeans etc will pay for them.

              Damn, I miss Japan's food. Even their 30 cents karaage at a kombini tastes awesome! Kyoto had some really awesome eats too. Osaka is also great for food I find.

If you've read what I've written carefully, you'll see that I'm clearly not impressed with either. Within Australia, I will only consider a Mayura signature product as "good". If you think this is so much better than the average steak cut, I feel sorry for you. So no, I odn't eat a lot of Aldi steaks, or this sort of steak normally. I'm very fussy as an eater, and just like once you've had proper sushi, you don't eat conveyor belt China operator-owner sushis (which taste nothing like proper sushi), I'm saying this is ok, but not that great.

            @clubhonda: Yeah calling bs on your claims mate. And even if it's true, just because you went to expensive restaurants for steak doesn't automatically make you an expert on it. I work as a head chef and can tell you the cuts from this deal are already far better than supermarket cuts. If you can't even tell them apart, further proves you know nothing about steaks.

            Also if you truly know about good steak you wouldn't bother bragging about going to Japan, because Australia already has the title for best kobe and wagyu steak in the world. Only the clueless will bring up Japan when it comes to talk about good steak.

I don't mind being wrong but please do share your source as I'm a bit intrigued. also don't think everyone here comes to BS and pretend to have been traveled and eaten stuff, very unwise to think so. also its very immoral to mock people because they have not eaten certain kind of food, if anything be happy that you get a bellyful as there is people starving in other parts of the world. no one is special or become an expert just because they ate Wagyu. I have eaten it, do I think its the best in the world? not really. would i eat again? yeah why not. but I never mock or make fun of a person who hasn't, its quite low/childish to do so.

              @Erkel: @Erkel I'm not doubting that you're a head chef. I know nothing about cooking, BUT, I've had a very very fussy palate since young, and we've never been stingy on paying for good food in my family so I can tell you that I don't think this steak quality is considered great.

              But I doubt that you're a great chef, because if you are, you would greatly respect Japanese steak, because they are considered some of the best IN THE WORLD, not by me, but by many experts. And I agree, not because I care about what experts say, but because when I taste them, they are very, very good, and better than Australian standards. I personally think the Mayura Station cuts are already the best in Australia, but even they are not as good as some of the award winning cuts in Japan. IF you think there's a better product in Australia, by all means state it here. I'm happy to stand corrected. In fact, I'll happily buy a ton of it.

      Recently bought some high end local black Angus, my wife hated it. Be surprised how different beef can taste

      I assume you can only taste the difference if you eat them rare, and not when you have them well done?

      • Aequitas on 11/08/2021 - 10:23

        no, there's less of a difference the more rare it is. Most people tend to prefer their wagyu (slightly) more done than regular beef. If you're someone who prefers medium-well or well-done, I think wagyu is a must, as it will still be tender and juicy

      Dumb comment. In the world of steaks, the higher the marbling, the more exquisite the taste. You have no idea what you're talking about!

        Do you know what I was talking about? The better the taste normally the is worse for your body, think sugar.

          Wagyu beef contains a higher percentage of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and more monounsaturated fats than other beef.

            @Stefce: I think this is a whole subject of its own, but the increased marbling also increases its calorie and fat content. Lets not get too technical about this, just leave this as personal's.

          • muwu on 11/08/2021 - 10:03

            @Stefce: I think he's commenting more generally on the health impact of high saturated fat foods like most red meats (rather than this high grade steak, specifically).

            As long as people are keeping this type of consumption to <200g once or twice a week, the long-term impact on cardiovascular health is minimal.

        • CrispyChrispy on 11/08/2021 - 10:01

          The better the taste

          That's very highly subjective; what if someone thinks a fruit or a vege tastes nice? They aren't necessarily bad for your body, unless you eat too much of it.

        • iDroid on 11/08/2021 - 11:00

          Naa, think fat.

          It's good for your body!

        • clubhonda on 11/08/2021 - 12:13

          Worry more about the lack of exercise and general food intake mate. No one eats steak 3 meals a day. Some of us workout too. For those that keep fit and are very fit, no need to calorie count or worry about fats. If you are overweight, you'd do better to get off one's ass and workout rather than just focus on the food intake. Lack of exercise is what kills in a very, very slow way.

        Well yeah, more fat, more taste. No brainer.

        Eat straight up fat, it will beat the flavor of any meat.

    Wtf at RRP

    While $100/kg for MBS 8-9 Aus Wagyu is slightly cheaper (it's around $100-$120 depending on the brand), you do need to commit to 3kg

    That $800 RRP looks right only if it's imported from Japan..
