Another trend cut that has found its way to us from the USA is the Flap Steak. The big brother of the Flank Steak, so to speak. A cut that is also becoming increasingly popular here and is turning into a real steak highlight. At Fitmeat you can get the flap steak from Austrian Wagyu beef in BMS 9-12.
Meat knowledge
Placed directly between brisket and flank, the Flap Steak from Wagyu cattle is extremely marbled and coarse-grained. Its flavour is wonderfully pronounced and quite intense - absolutely perfect for steak lovers.
Flap steak vs. Flank steak
The Flap Steak is still somewhat unknown in this country, but in America the cut is an absolute classic on the grill. To understand the steak and its characteristics a little better, it is best to compare it with the Flank Steak. The flap steak is its big brother, so to speak
The popular cut of Austrian Wagyu breeds also scores here with its pronounced marbling. This makes the meat even more tender and it almost melts in your mouth.
Flap Steak of Wagyu Beef
This cut is ideal as a classic steak in the pan or on the grill, but also for making small quantities of pastrami at home. Flap steaks can be wonderfully seasoned - but in the case of the Wagyu beef cut, this is almost too much. Because the meat's own flavour is already ingenious by nature.
What makes Wagyu beef taste so special?
There is one factor that definitely sets Wagyu Beef apart from all other meats, and that is the amazingly high marbling. In contrast to other breeds of beef, where the fat tends to accumulate in spots - think of the famous eye of fat on Rib-Eye steak - in Wagyu it is evenly distributed throughout the meat.
The muscle meat is therefore almost completely covered with the finest fat deposits, which makes it incredibly tender. In addition, there are always two components in meat. The flavour carrier and the flavour enhancer.
In this case, fat acts as a flavour enhancer. With a Wagyu beef BMS 9-12, the flavour is therefore incredibly intense, as the highest degree of marbling has been achieved.
The exclusive Wagyu beef from Austria
The better Kobe beef
At Fitmeat you get first-class premium meat from Austrian Wagyu beef in the highest marbling grade. With a BMS of 9 - 12, there is simply nothing better.
Compared to Japanese Kōbe beef, our Wagyu cattle grow up on a beautiful smallholding in the Salzkammergut region. There, Carina and Roland breed 100% purebred Fullblood Black Wagyu cattle. With the highest quality standards, knowledge and passion, and already in the third generation.
The outstanding characteristics of the Wagyu, or rather the intramuscular fat, the short fibres and the high amount of glutamic acid, meet here with the best and most careful breeding. Free range, exclusively natural feed and slow rearing guarantee the best quality.
What does BMS actually mean when it comes to steak?
When it comes to the crème de la crème of steaks, everything revolves around the well-known BMS. But what exactly does that mean?
The Beef Marbling Standard, or BMS for short, is measured on the basis of 6 factors. These include marbling, meat colour, meat firmness and grain, fat colour and quality.
There are 12 classifications, with 12 being the highest possible degree of marbling. This means that the meat has the highest amount of intramuscular fat

Herkunft und Haltung
At Fitmeat, the highest quality and species-appropriate animal husbandry are top priorities. That is why 100% of the animals come from small farmers in Austria. The farms are located in Lower Austria, the Waldviertel, Salzburg and neighbouring Upper Austria
Our classic Wagyu cattle breed is the so-called Fullblood Black Wagyu cattle from the Salzkammergut region. It is very important to us that the animals are born and raised by small farmers
As we distance ourselves from long transport routes and factory farming, we have the animals respectfully slaughtered individually by our partner butchers in the immediate vicinity of the farms (max. 15 minutes transport distance) or directly on the farm.
We also have close and personal contact with the farmers and work exclusively with butchers who know both farmer and animal personally. Our master butchers cut each animal into the finest parts and let them mature selectively. In this way, we obtain first-class and well-hung meat that does not lose water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
