Hi, it's your boy Pio. I'm out here Old Homestead Estate House.
Today, I'm gonna try the most expensive steak in New York.
Good evening, my name is Marc Sherry,
I'm co-owner and chef here at Old Homestead in New York City,
and yes, you are in the meat packing district.
Old Homestead was established in 1868,
so this is our 150th year in business.
The prize Wagyu is the best in the world,
it's the highest grade that's possible.
It's the most tender, sought-after beef in the world.
This is beef heaven.
As you can see, every steak that we cut here at
Old Homestead is perfect. No gristle. No fat.
Look at the threads, marbling, going through it.
It's the best in the world, only for you.
Is there a secret to how you make it?
Because the beef is so rich, so creamy, so delicious,
we stay on the simple side. A little salt, a little pepper.
We never, never, overcook the beef.
Our ovens go to 1600 degrees.
We give it a char, a sear, locking in the juices.
And that's the procedure.
How long does it take to cook?
It takes five to six minutes.
We like to go to a rare, medium rare.
Pio, let's go to the dining room and try this product.
Let's go. I'm hungry. Let's go!
Enjoy.
Before we start,
why this steak so expensive?
So Pio, what you have here is the highest-grade,
prized Wagyu Japanese beef. We always bought USDA Prime,
but we wanted to take the steak to another level.
The highest level, excess, best, always.
So we flew to Japan, did the research
and brought it to the plate.
The amount of marbling in this steak
is what gives it the flavor. It's bursting in your mouth,
it's like the July 4th in your mouth, boom, boom, boom.
Boom, boom.
And when you think it's over, it's not over.
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom.
Okay, what happened when you go to Japan to buy the meat?
Well, the first thing, I land and I make sure
that I have the biggest stretch limo
they can find in Japan to pick me up,
because I got a big suitcase of money with me, ready to go.
I go straight to the auctions.
$2000, $3000, $4000, $5000. Doesn't matter.
You can go to $10,000. I have to buy the beef.
Can I go with you next time?
Sure, I'll put you in my suitcase man.
What else do you get when you order this steak?
Great steak, no matter how great,
and you have the greatest right here,
you've gotta drink the right thing.
No cerveza. Opus wine. $650 a bottle.
Beautiful, blended cabernet.
No cerveza?
No cerveza.
How much is it for the wine?
This is $650.
I want the cerveza.
Do celebrities come by to eat this steak?
Are you kidding me? Everybody wants this steak.
Sylvester Stallone. Jerry Seinfeld.
Axl Rose from Guns'N'Roses. Billy Joel. You name it.
This is a very, very exclusive dish, it's not discounted.
It's for the rich, famous,
and people who appreciate the best beef in the world.
Like me!
Alright. Can we eat?
I'm hungry let's go. Let's go.
I know, Pio, I like my steak a little rarer than you do.
But I tell you, it's so tender man, it's cutting like butter.
And the flavor, the juices that are coming out of this steak.
I go, look at that.
Shit. Oh, shit.
Wow. You tell me, how d'you like it?
Wheen, the plane, wheen.
It's very good beef.
I like the sauce.
$350 for other people, and free for me.
I'm the boss.
You think I should raise the price to $400?
Mm-hmm.
I do too.
Oh my god.
The vegetables help me grow.
