Offering Wagyu Steaks That Melt in Your Mouth


Red Horse Market offers premium Wagyu beef, which is a better quality steak than restaurants serve in the Hamptons.


Everyday meals can be extraordinary experiences, which is why the Red Horse Market butcher counter proudly showcases Wagyu beef.

Wagyu beef comes from prized heritage cattle breeds and is celebrated globally for its unparalleled quality, but what makes it spectacular is its intramuscular marbling. Unlike traditional meat cuts where fat sits on the edges, Wagyu features delicate, web-like ribbons of healthy, unsaturated fat distributed evenly throughout the entire steak. Wagyu steak’s unique fat has a very low melting point and it dissolves during the cooking process to naturally baste the meat from the inside out. The result is an incredibly tender texture that literally melts in your mouth, delivering a rich, buttery, and deeply savory flavor that standard beef cannot match.

Our owner and head butcher hand-selects our Wagyu because we want our community in East Hampton and Southampton to have access to the absolute best for their dinner tables. We source our Wagyu from top-tier, trusted ranchers like Snake River Farms, who are dedicated to heritage bloodlines and sustainable, hormone-free raising practices.

As a family-owned grocery that has spent decades serving the East End, we have built a reputation for providing the finest butcher counter in the Hamptons, offering cuts that routinely outclass what you will find in high-end restaurants.

How to Cook Wagyu at Home

Cooking Wagyu beef at home is surprisingly simple because the meat is so naturally rich and flavorful. The Wagyu truly does most of the work for you.

  1. Remove the steak from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature 30 to 60 minutes before cooking.

  2. Pat the Wagyu completely dry and season it with fine sea or kosher salt.

  3. Preheat your cast iron skillet or heavy stainless steel pan over medium heat. Do not add butter or cooking oil. Because of the steak’s famous intramuscular marbling, it will render its own fat.

  4. Place the steak in the hot pan and sear it for 90 seconds to 2 minutes per side. Wagyu cooks very quickly because of its high fat content.

  5. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes to lock in those decadent, buttery juices. Then slice it into thin strips or bite-sized cubes and enjoy!
