What do I have here? Gift from my mom shipped frozen. It’s worryingly tender. Pretty sure I could make ground beef with my hands. Smells fine.

Nothing I would eat.

It’s tenderloin, should be fine to eat if there’s no smell

Looks like it’s supposed to be Japanese A5 Wagyu from Crowd Cow (a pretty well-known online vendor). Japanese A5 wagyu is supposed to have the highest level of marbling, probably explains why it’s super tender. It might look a bit gray because of oxidation, but as long as it smells fine and is not slimy, I think you’re good to go. And don’t turn it into ground beef! Cook it as a steak—ideally medium to medium-well to let the fat melt—and enjoy it in thin slices. A5 Wagyu is really rich and can be a bit much because of the fat, so sharing it with someone isn’t a bad idea.

Ignore the exterior colouration.
Fridge thaw it and if it still passes the smell test, salt, hot pan sear, then finish how you like.

Thank everyone. Delicious. 8/10 if I’m rating tenderloin. Little peanut oil, 1,000,000 degrees all sides like 2-3 minutes total. Rest, black pepper flake salt, butter toast Sandwich.
