Meat knowledge
Rump steaks are considered the perfect choice for both steak lovers and newcomers. The same applies to rump steaks from Austrian Wagyu cattle. These fine steaks are cut directly from the rump, which gives the meat its relatively short muscle fibres. Compared to traditional rump steaks, Wagyu beef naturally contains a slightly higher fat content – and that is exactly where the distinctive Wagyu flavour comes from.
How should rump steaks be cooked properly?
The rump is generally regarded as one of the most sought-after cuts of beef. Typically, meat from the rump is known for its short fibres and relatively low fat content. With rump steaks from Wagyu cattle, however, things are a little different, as the pronounced marbling plays an important role here.
These premium Wagyu rump steaks are therefore ideal for quick searing. For best results, sear them over very high heat and then finish cooking briefly. If you would like to enhance the flavour even further, simply season the steaks with coarse sea salt shortly before serving.
Wagyu vs. Kobe Beef – what’s the difference?
Wagyu beef has become a true global sensation. In many ways, it has even overtaken the hype once associated with Kobe beef. Interestingly, however, the two are closely related. Kobe beef is essentially a specific subtype of Wagyu cattle.
Much like sparkling wine can only be called Champagne when it originates from the Champagne region of France, true Kobe beef must come from specially certified cattle raised in the Kobe region of Japan.
Exclusive Wagyu Beef from Austria
The better Kobe beef
Compared to Japanese Kobe cattle, our Wagyu cattle are raised on beautiful small family farms in Austria. With the highest standards of quality, knowledge and dedication, our farmers carefully rear these exceptional animals. The outstanding characteristics of Wagyu – particularly its intramuscular fat, fine muscle fibres and naturally high glutamic acid content – combine here with attentive and responsible farming. Plenty of space to roam, exclusively natural feed and slow, careful rearing guarantee exceptional quality.
How Wagyu developed its famous marbling
In Japan, Wagyu cattle were historically used primarily as working animals. Their ability to withstand physical strain was therefore especially important. Over time, the animals developed what are known as “slow-twitch muscle fibres” in order to support their stamina.
This allowed them to generate energy from fat stored within the muscle. At the same time, Wagyu cattle developed their unique trademark: the extraordinary marbling that has made this beef famous around the world.
What does a Wagyu steak taste like?
The Wagyu rump steak is an exclusive delicacy for true gourmets. The meat is incredibly tender and almost melts in your mouth. On the palate it creates a burst of rich flavours combined with a texture unlike anything most people have experienced before.
Since fat is a natural carrier of flavour, it is easy to see why Wagyu offers such an exceptionally indulgent taste.

Herkunft und Haltung
The Origin of Our Wagyu Beef
Our premium Wagyu beef comes from farmer Günter Renner, who raises his cattle with great passion in Berg im Attergau. The Wagyu steers and heifers grow up there in a natural environment with plenty of space, excellent feed and the freedom to move around. During summer they spend their time on a vast alpine pasture in the Wildalpen National Park (Lower Austria), where they can mature peacefully – far away from stress and confined conditions.
With a minimum age of 40 months at the time of slaughter, the animals reach an exceptional level of maturity, reflected in the fine marbling and the remarkable flavour of the meat. Low-stress slaughter and careful butchering in our own farm butchery ensure outstanding quality, tenderness and flavour. Every Wagyu cut from Fitmeat therefore represents honest provenance, respectful animal husbandry and uncompromising premium quality.
