What Makes This Cut Extraordinary
Marble Score 9+ Excellence Graded at MB9+ - equivalent to Japanese A5 Wagyu - this steak showcases the intense marbling that defines world-class Wagyu. The intricate web of intramuscular fat creates an unparalleled eating experience where each bite delivers rich, buttery succulence.
Bone-In Advantage The bone adds depth of flavor during cooking while helping retain moisture and enhance the natural beef taste. This classic preparation showcases the steak's marbling while delivering the full Robbins Island experience.
The Hammond Family Legacy Four generations of cattle breeding expertise have culminated in this exceptional herd. Using pristine Tajima bloodlines and selective breeding for the coveted "soft fat" gene, the Hammonds have created cattle that produce beef with lower melting points and luxurious mouthfeel.
The Ultimate Expression of Tasmanian Terroir
From the pristine waters surrounding Robbins Island comes this extraordinary bone-in New York Strip - a testament to what happens when perfect genetics meet untouched wilderness. For over 20 years, the Hammond family has raised full-blood Wagyu cattle on this remote Tasmanian island, where cattle roam freely across saltwater channels and graze on pastures kissed by the world's cleanest air.
Cooking Recommendations
Preparation: Allow steak to reach room temperature before cooking. Season simply with coarse salt to let the Wagyu's natural flavors shine.
Method: Perfect for grilling over high heat or pan-searing in a cast iron skillet. The bone helps regulate cooking temperature.
Doneness: Medium-rare to medium (130-140°F internal temperature) preserves the marbling's texture and allows the fat to properly render.
Rest Time: Allow 5-7 minutes resting after cooking for optimal juice retention.
About Robbins Island
The world's cleanest air.
Robbins Island is situated on the North Western tip of Tasmania, where prized cattle are grazed naturally and sustainably on lush pastures without supplements or hormones.
During the iconic seasonal musters, bands of local horsemen swim the cattle through saltwater channels at low tide to move them peacefully between grazing areas.
The cool climate, salt air, and pristine environment are ideal for naturally raising some of the most tender and best tasting beef in the world. These pastures provide the ideal foundation for nutrients prior to the cattle entering a grain-ration assisted program.
