Meat
Steak
Steak of Yak is prepared as a distinct kitchen form of high-altitude bovine, used when cooks need this specific yield or texture. It highlights lean dense beefy flavour. Match cooking method to moisture, fat, and intensity rather than forcing one technique on every piece. Cook yak steak to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Grilling, stewing, and dried meat show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
