Frequently asked questions
Karubi is the Japanese yakiniku term for short rib, cut from the belly side of the ribs. It is the most commonly grilled cut in a Japanese barbecue restaurant because the fat renders fast over direct heat. This version is Australian Full Blood Wagyu graded MB9/9, sliced for the grill and sold frozen in 200g packs.
A cast iron grill pan or a hot plate on the hob works without any special equipment. Get it very hot, lay the slices flat without crowding, and give each 30 to 45 seconds a side. Serve each piece as it comes off rather than cooking the whole pack at once. Tare, ponzu or a soy and lemon dip all suit it.
Karubi is the softer and fattier of the two, rib meat is firmer with a deeper beef flavour. Both are Australian Full Blood Wagyu at MB9/9 and both come sliced in 200g packs. A table ordering one of each gets contrast, which is closer to how a yakiniku restaurant serves it than two packs of the same slice.
The sliced packs do need thawing first. A 200g pack needs a night in the refrigerator so the slices separate cleanly, because frozen slices stick together in a block and tear when pulled apart. Keep them cold until they reach the grill. Once thawed, cook within 3 days. The slices are hand cut and blast frozen in Singapore, not imported pre-sliced.
