The Deep Flavor of Wagyu Zabuton

The Snake River Farms Zabuton Chuck is a true hidden gem in the world of premium beef—luxuriously marbled, deeply flavorful, and impossibly tender. Cut from the chuck flap and named after the plush Japanese cushion it resembles, the Zabuton offers an indulgent eating experience that’s typically reserved for elite culinary circles. Its rich intramuscular fat ensures a buttery texture and mouthwatering finish, whether it’s seared, grilled, or braised. Chef Brandon loves working with it for its versatility and stunning plate appeal, making it a standout centerpiece that elevates any menu with bold, unforgettable flavor. It could easily sit on the plate alone and shine, but he decided to accompany it with some blistered veggies and a roasted pepper and olive demi.
