Wagyu Beef Secondary Cuts
Discover a flavour-packed selection of Wagyu beef secondary cuts, from short ribs and beef cheeks to oxtail, bavette, picanha, chuck and skirt steak. These cuts offer the signature marbling and richness of Wagyu in versatile formats suited to slow cooking, grilling, roasting and BBQs.
Secondary cuts are a great way to explore Wagyu beyond ribeye, sirloin and fillet, often offering deeper beef flavour and excellent value while still delivering tenderness and richness.
Wagyu Short Ribs
Wagyu short ribs are ideal for slow braising, roasting, smoking or grilling. Their generous marbling and connective tissue break down beautifully during cooking, creating tender meat with a rich, savoury flavour.
For more premium cuts, explore our Wagyu Beef collection and Wagyu Steaks collection.
Wagyu Beef Cheek & Oxtail
Wagyu beef cheek and Wagyu oxtail are excellent choices for slow-cooked dishes. Both benefit from long, gentle cooking, which allows their natural collagen to soften and creates a deeply flavoured, tender result.
Use them for braises, stews, rich sauces and comforting cold-weather dishes.
Wagyu Bavette, Chuck & Skirt Steak
Cuts such as Wagyu bavette, chuck Denver steak and skirt steak are ideal for quick, high-heat cooking. These cuts have plenty of character and work especially well grilled, pan-seared or cooked over charcoal.
For more steak options, browse our Wagyu Steaks collection, which includes bavette, skirt, sirloin, ribeye and other premium Wagyu cuts.
Wagyu Picanha & Rump Cap
Wagyu picanha, also known as rump cap, is prized for its juicy texture and distinctive fat cap. It can be roasted whole, sliced into steaks or cooked over a BBQ for a rich, flavourful finish.
For larger roasting cuts, explore our Wagyu Joints collection.
How to Cook Wagyu Secondary Cuts
The best cooking method depends on the cut:
- Short ribs, beef cheek and oxtail benefit from slow braising or stewing.
- Bavette, chuck Denver and skirt steak are ideal for grilling or pan-searing.
- Picanha works beautifully roasted or cooked over charcoal.
- Always rest grilled or roasted Wagyu before slicing.
Because these cuts already contain plenty of flavour and marbling, simple seasoning is often all you need.
