Australian F4 Purebred Wagyu Boneless Short Rib — BMS 6–7
An Exceptionally Rich and Indulgent Wagyu Experience
Exceptionally rich, intensely marbled, and unlike traditional short ribs, our Australian F4 Purebred Wagyu Boneless Short Rib is a true butcher's cut for serious Wagyu lovers.
With a Beef Marbling Score (BMS) of 6–7, this boneless short rib features extraordinary intramuscular marbling that renders as it cooks, creating a remarkably juicy, tender bite with deep beef flavor.
This is not a traditional bone-in short rib that needs to be braised for hours. The quality and marbling of this Australian Wagyu allow it to be cooked and served much more like a premium steak.
Our boneless Short Rib is professionally trimmed and portioned into individual steaks of varying sizes, making it easy to enjoy this extraordinary Wagyu without purchasing an entire loin.
Featuring Australian F4 Purebred Wagyu from the producer recognized as the 2026 Australian Wagyu Association Branded Beef Competition — Purebred Wagyu Class Champion.
Why This Cut Is Special
Short rib comes from one of the most flavorful areas of the animal, but what makes this Australian Wagyu version exceptional is the extraordinary amount of marbling and richness throughout the meat.
When we cooked and tasted this cut ourselves, it was the richest and most indulgent of the Wagyu cuts we tried.
The exceptionally high fat content renders as it cooks, essentially basting the beef from within and creating an incredibly moist, tender texture.
The result is intensely rich, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth, with an almost luxurious softness that makes this short rib unlike a conventional steak or traditional short rib.
This richness is also why we recommend serving it differently. A little goes a long way. Rather than serving a large steakhouse portion, slice the cooked short rib and enjoy it in smaller servings.
For anyone looking for one of the richest Wagyu experiences we offer, this is the cut.
Portion Sizes & Guaranteed Weight
Our Australian Wagyu Short Rib is sold by total package weight rather than by individual steak count.
Because short rib is a naturally irregular cut, individual steaks vary in size and thickness. Most portions are approximately 1/3 to 1/2 lb, although individual weights may vary.
We select the appropriate number of steaks to ensure every order meets or exceeds the guaranteed minimum weight.
Available packages:
-
1 lb Package — Minimum 1 lb total
-
2 lb Package — Minimum 2 lbs total
-
3 lb Package — Minimum 3 lbs total
-
4 lb Package — Minimum 4 lbs total
For example, a 2 lb package may contain approximately 4–6 individual steaks, depending on their sizes.
The exact number of steaks is not guaranteed. Your purchase is based on total net weight, and every package will contain at least the amount of beef ordered.
This approach allows us to provide natural, individually portioned Wagyu steaks without unnecessary trimming or waste.
How We Recommend Cooking It
We tested this Wagyu Short Rib on the grill and found that it benefits from a hot initial sear followed by a slower finish over reduced or indirect heat.
Start over high heat to develop a deeply browned exterior. Once you have a good crust, move the meat to a cooler area of the grill and allow it to finish more gradually.
Watch carefully for flare-ups. This short rib contains an exceptional amount of Wagyu fat, and as that fat renders, it can drip onto the heat source and create flames.
Moving the meat away from direct flame after the initial sear helps control flare-ups while allowing the interior to cook more evenly.
Because individual portions vary in thickness, cooking times will vary. We strongly recommend using an instant-read meat thermometer rather than relying strictly on cooking time.
For a warm red to medium-rare center, our personal preference is to remove the meat from the grill at approximately 127–130°F, then allow it to rest before slicing.
For food safety, the USDA recommends cooking whole beef steaks to an internal temperature of 145°F followed by at least a 3-minute rest.
Serving Recommendation
Allow the steak to rest after cooking, then slice it against the grain into smaller pieces.
Because of its extraordinary richness, you don't need a traditional steakhouse-sized serving. Just a few slices can be remarkably satisfying.
This makes our Wagyu Short Rib an outstanding choice for sharing, entertaining, or tasting alongside other premium Wagyu cuts.
We recommend keeping the preparation simple. Coarse sea salt is all this Wagyu really needs. The extraordinary marbling and deep beef flavor should remain the focus.

- There is no "guaranteed delivery time." FedEx provides a courtesy estimated delivery time with your tracking number. But do not be alarmed if your package arrives later in the day or the next day. Depending on your location, or during busy holiday seasons, your package can arrive later in the day or the next day.

- We do not suggest shipping to a business address unless it is open until 8pm your local time and on Saturdays. FedEx can deliver packages as late as 8pm and if there is a delay they can deliver on Saturdays as well.
- Unlike a lot of seafood companies, we are actually located in ALASKA and therefore are subject to extreme weather conditions. During colder seasons, please be mindful of this. In most cases, your package will arrive in perfect condition. However, if your package is held up along the way due to foul weather conditions, neither we nor FedEx will be held liable.
- Special Events: When planning your special event, waiting until the last minute is not a good plan. Place your order early and we will arrange specific delivery dates. We can make suggestions for your important event based on the best seasonal selections available.
- Holidays: We understand that the season of giving is often a busy and challenging time. Because you are selecting perishable seafood for your celebration or as a gift, we urge you to notify your recipient and confirm they will be home during the expected delivery time. It can still be an item of surprise, but because a signature is not required (in most cases), some people are not looking for their surprise package and will let the box sit outside for an extended amount of time, leaving the items to thaw and spoil. In this event we will not be held liable for spoiled packages

We must have a picture of the box, picture of the fedex label on the box and a picture of all the products that are spoiled in order to provide a complimentary reshipment of your products and for your shipping insurance to take effect.
