The Meat Dudes

Unboxing some seriously beautiful F1 Wagyu from Bar R Wagyu in Pullman, Washington for the Meat Dudes Approved Wagyu Map.

If you've spent any time around the Wagyu world, you've probably heard the name Bar R. They're known for producing some of the most influential Wagyu genetics in the country, and now we get to see what those genetics look like on the plate.

We're fired up to cook it, taste it, and show people what American Wagyu is all about—one ranch, one cut, and one steak at a time.

Top sirloin might be one of the most underrated steaks on the cow.

Cut from the sirloin primal just behind the short loin, Wagyu top sirloin has been one of our favorite hidden-gem cuts for a while now. Big beefy flavor, great texture, and all the things we love about American Wagyu.

And let's be honest, this isn't your grandpa's top sirloin anymore. Especially not when it's Full Blood Wagyu from Prime Valley Farms in Indiana.

That's exactly what the Meat Dudes Approved Wagyu Map is all about: showing people how to cook and enjoy American Wagyu beyond just ribeyes and strips.

Unboxing something special today.

This Full Blood Wagyu comes from DL Texas Ranch in Montgomery, Texas, and it's the first beef on the Meat Dudes Approved Wagyu Map carrying the PVP Authentic Wagyu label.

What is the Authentic Wagyu® label? It's a USDA-certified program backed by the American Wagyu Association that verifies Wagyu genetics and traceability, helping consumers know they're getting genuine Wagyu.

Now the real question: does the beef live up to the label?

From the marbling alone, we're pretty excited to find out.

Who makes fun of someone for loving a tenderloin?

Then again, maybe they’ve never had a Full Blood Wagyu tenderloin from Prime Valley Farms in Indiana.

The texture. The flavor. The way it practically disappears with every bite. You can see it on our faces—we were absolutely blown away. This wasn’t just tender; it was one of those bites that makes you stop talking for a second and just appreciate what’s happening.

That’s exactly why we’re building the Meat Dudes Approved™ Wagyu Map. We want to show you incredible American Wagyu from all over the U.S., teach you how to cook it, taste it, and help make Wagyu approachable no matter where you are.

Indiana showed up in a big way with this one. 🔥🥩
