The holidays are approaching quickly and if you’re like many of us, you have way too much to do without even thinking about what you want to serve the family. Let us help with our Holiday Party Food Guide, picked and tested by our Wagyu experts!
Start your holiday party off right with some delicious Wagyu hors d’oeuvres! Wow your guests with a culinary delicacy, try our Beef Wellington Wagyu Bites recipe, made with our Wagyu Filet Mignon Tips. We recommend doubling the recipe, your guests won’t be able to keep their hands off these tasty Wagyu bites. If you’re looking for a more casual vibe, try these Honey Garlic Wagyu Meatballs. Delicious and satisfying, your guests won’t be able to get enough of them. Plus, it’s an easy ground beef recipe that you can make ahead!
Now, for the main course, Wagyu roasts! Wagyu roasts are a great choice for your holiday party. Booth Creek Wagyu has a variety of cuts to choose from, depending on the size you need. Our personal favorites are the Wagyu Prime Rib Roast and the Wagyu Picanha Roast. Both have that buttery and tender flavor you find in traditional Wagyu, making for a savory holiday feast.
Don’t forget about the sides, because we surely didn’t! There are so many sides you can make, but how do you make them stand out? We recommend adding Wagyu bacon to take your dishes up a notch! Some ideas that pair well with our Wagyu bacon are Brussel sprouts, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, plus mac and cheese.
Wondering what drinks to serve with Wagyu? To make your holiday party even more memorable, we suggest pairing all this Wagyu flavor with a classic red wine. This wine should complement the Wagyu rather than overshadow it, making a vibrant, acidic medium – or full-bodied wine the perfect choice.
Serving Wagyu will not only elevate your holiday dinner but the whole holiday party itself! This guide is only the beginning of all the cooking opportunities you can have with Wagyu, check out our website for more recipes and cooking tips to use when hosting guests or your family on a weeknight.

New Booth Creek Wagyu Retail Store Coming to Prairie Village
Prairie Village, Kansas – Booth Creek Wagyu, a premium Wagyu meat market, is set to open the door of their second retail location in the Kansas City metro area in early December of this year.
This retail store will carry different grades of premium, Wagyu beef. Items sold include steaks, hot dogs, burger patties, ground beef, roasts, and snack items, sourced from their Wagyu ranch in the Flint Hills of Kansas.
“We are thrilled to bring a second location to the Kansas City metro area,” said Dave Dreiling, Founder and CEO. “Booth Creek Wagyu has had great success in Overland Park, so we decided this was the perfect place to continue bringing the premium flavor of Wagyu to the public.”
Wagyu beef, originally native only to Japan, is world-famous for its marbling, which is what gives this beef much of its tenderness and flavor. This rich, buttery beef has only been raised in the United States since the late 1970s, and more recently has gained popularity. At Booth Creek Wagyu, they pride themselves on finding the perfect taste for their customers and allowing them to dial in on the perfect flavor profile, similar to chocolate or whisky.
This is Booth Creek Wagyu’s fourth retail location. Their original store is located in Manhattan, Kansas, less than 20 miles from its ranch in the Flint Hills. Online ordering with shipping throughout the continental United States is available at www.boothcreekwagyu.com.

Started in 2020 with a vision to elevate consumer’s perception of beef, BCW now encompasses top 1% genetics, best practice feeding and husbandry, and its own processing facilities.
