Amabi Restaurant & Tapas Bar in Cowes is famed for infusing authentic Basque Country cooking with the finest, fresh Isle of Wight produce. Now, the team – who opened exactly one year ago – are delighted to serve up an Island exclusive – world famous Wagyu Beef.
Wagyu Beef is renowned for its deep red colour, and marbling which in turn creates the intense flavour of this gourmet beef. The succulence and tenderness of Wagyu cannot be rivalled – which is thanks to the effort put in during the early stages of production.
Wagyn herds are revered in Japan, and reared with love to create the famed Kobe Beef. The animals are fed a daily helping of beer before being given a gentle massage by farm workers. This means the meat boasts a distinctive hoppy, sweet flavour. The dense marbling also boasts a rich, silky, buttery flavour and an astonishingly tender bite.
During cooking the fat melts into the meat to give it a moist texture.
Amabi owner Jenny Stanton said:
“In Basque Country they take steak very seriously, you buy it by the kilo and by the breed of beef. We are extremely proud to add Wagyu alongside the Isle of Wight reared beef we have on the menu. The breeding stock in the UK is very small so these steaks will be limited. We expect them to prove hugely popular.”
Aptly coined the ‘caviar of beef’, this is top-tier meat.
These steaks will be priced at £28.95 per person and are set to feature on the soon-to-be-launched exciting new menu from Amabi for a very limited period.
Amabi will be hosting a First Birthday Party on Sunday 18th May 2014 from 15:00. Sangria and Pintxo will be served and a Closed Bid Auction with a host of amazing prizes is being held to raise money for the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.
Tickets cost just £5.00 per person – with all proceeds going to the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.
