– 1/4 cup beef broth
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1-2 tablespoons black truffle paste or finely grated black truffle
– 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Wagyu Steaks:
– Pat the Wagyu steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
– Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add the steaks to the skillet.

– Pour in the beef broth and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
– Stir in the heavy cream and black truffle paste or grated black truffle. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
– Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Finally, Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Serve:
– Place the cooked Wagyu steaks on serving plates.
– Spoon the black truffle sauce generously over the steaks.
– Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
– Serve the Wagyu beef with black truffle sauce immediately, accompanied by your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
