This Wagyu Denver steak recipe pairs richly marbled beef with creamy rosemary butter beans for a comforting alternative to the usual steak and chips or mashed potato. White wine, garlic, rosemary and crème fraîche transform simple butter beans into a rich, flavourful accompaniment that's particularly well suited to Wagyu.

The Denver steak is simply seasoned and cooked in a very hot pan or on a griddle, allowing the quality and marbling of the Wagyu beef to remain the focus. After resting, it's sliced and served alongside the creamy beans for a satisfying yet uncomplicated main course.

With just 15 minutes of preparation, this is a straightforward Denver steak recipe that's ideal when you want to showcase premium Wagyu without an overly complicated list of ingredients.

Ingredients

400g Wagyu chuck Denver steak
450g cooked butter beans (drained weight)
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed or finely grated
1 large sprig rosemary, chopped
1 glass white wine
1 tablespoon creme fraiche

Directions

Method

Step 1, Cook the onion gently in a splash of olive oil until soft – around 8 minutes. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook gently for another minute or so.
Step 2, Add the glass of white wine and the butter beans and let cook down until creamy – around 15 minutes. Season.
Step 3, To cook the steak, heat a frying pan or griddle until very hot. Rub the steak lightly with a little vegetable or groundnut oil and season well with salt. If the steak is thick (around 2 inches) then you will need to cook it for around 8 minutes each side for a medium-rare steak. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Step 4, Stir the crème fraîche into the butter beans before serving with the sliced steak.
