Instructions

Remove Wagyu steaks from the refrigerator. Salt generously on all sides and let stand at room temperature for 45 minutes.
Preheat a cast-iron skillet with oil or fat over medium-high heat.
Place steaks in the skillet, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom side becomes seared and golden brown. Flip the steaks, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Check the internal temperature with a digital meat thermometer. A meat thermometer inserted horizontally into the middle of the steaks, should read 130° F for medium-rare. Do not overcooke.
Rremove the steaks and transfer to a serving plater. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cut a 1 inch square piece of fat from the Wagyu and render that fat in the pan before adding the steaks.
