1. Product Overview

• Cut: Wagyu Hanging Tender (approx. 500g)
• Flavor Profile: Bold, smoky chipotle heat balanced by garlic, onion, and aromatic herbs
• Texture: Tender, juicy, with a light chew from the Hanging Tender cut
• Suitable For: High-heat grilling, quick pan-searing, cast-iron sizzling
• Not Suitable For: Long braising or slow-cooking (this marinade shines in fast-cook methods)

2. Why This Marinade?

✔ Smoky-Spicy Kick – The chipotle peppers in adobo deliver a warm heat and subtle sweetness, elevating Wagyu’s naturally rich flavor.
✔ Balanced Aromatics – Onion, garlic, rosemary, and oregano add depth without overpowering the beefy goodness.
✔ Tang & Tenderness – Light red wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce offer acidity to help tenderize the meat and amplify umami notes.

3. Cooking & Usage Tips

1. Marinade Preparation:
   • Combine all marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor.
   • Blend until smooth (a bit of texture is okay if you like a rustic feel).
2. Marinating the Hanging Tender:
   • Place the Wagyu Hanging Tender in a sealable bag or non-reactive container.
   • Coat thoroughly with the chipotle marinade.
   • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight for maximum flavor).
3. High-Heat Cooking:
   • Grilling: Preheat to medium-high; cook 2–4 minutes per side, aiming for medium-rare.
   • Pan-Searing/Cast Iron: Heat your pan until smoking hot; sear slices briefly to develop a caramelized crust.
4. Rest & Slice:
   • Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
   • This helps retain juices, delivering a tender, juicy bite in every piece.

🚫 Avoid:

• Overcooking – Wagyu can lose its signature richness if cooked beyond medium.
• Excess Salt – The marinade already contains salt, so taste before adding more seasoning.
