First Light™ 100% Grass-Fed Wagyu
WHY CHOOSE FIRST LIGHT 100% GRASS-FED WAGYU?
BEAUTIFUL MEAT
The natural marbling in First Light Wagyu beef comes from the lush 100% grass diet the cattle graze on. And it ensures every piece of premium grass-fed beef is juicy, tender and full of flavor.
HEALTHY MEAT
Wagyu is rich in naturally occurring Omega-3s – the kind of “good fat” we should be eating, rather than avoiding. All First Light products are gluten-free and contain no added nitrates, nitrites, hormones or antibiotics.
GOOD FOR THE PLANET
First Light Wagyu cattle are pasture-raised in New Zealand on a 100% grass-fed diet, with no grains, no feedlots and absolutely no GMOs.
GOOD FOR THE ANIMALS
First Light Wagyu comes from farms internationally recognized as Certified Humane®, so you can be assured they meet stringent standards for animal welfare practices.

WHAT IS WAGYU?
Wagyu is a cattle breed, common in Japan and known for its extensive marbling. First Light Wagyu are raised in New Zealand on lush pasture, breathing fresh air, and getting lots of exercise!
WHAT IS MARBLING?
Marbling refers to the small white flecks of intramuscular fat running through a cut of meat. The more marbled your beef is, the richer and more succulent it will be.
AWARD-WINNING MEAT
Our partner, First Light 100% grass-fed Wagyu, has proudly claimed two gold medals at the World Steak Challenge (London).

COOKING TIPS
Grass-fed Wagyu cooks faster than regular grain-fed beef so follow these simple instructions for the perfect steak.

- The more marbling in the beef the more tender and juicy it will be – choose a good-looking cut!
- Bring the Wagyu up to room temperature before cooking and oil the meat not the pan.
- Salt the beef liberally just before cooking it to get great caramelization.
- Cook it on a medium heat until done (we recommend medium rare).
- Rest the meat – this allows the juices to redistribute evenly, which will make your steak extra delicious.
ACCOLADES
It’s always great to get a pat on the back from people who love our meat as much as we do!
