‘A Cut Above’ – The Coal Shed Westholme Wagyu Beef Tasting Experience
At The Coal Shed, everything we do begins with fire. And for OctoberBEST, that obsession meets its perfect match: a Westholme Wagyu tasting experience, designed to share over a long, leisurely lunch. It’s our way of celebrating beef at its very best, brought to life over flame.
This beef is a cut above. Descended from prized Japanese bloodlines, raised on Australia’s wide rangelands, and graded for exceptional marbling. We cook it three ways to unlock every nuance.
Discover the menu below.
Three Cuts, One Flame
It begins with Wagyu tartare on beef fat toast, sharpened with pickled onion and horseradish, finished with smoked bone marrow. Then the centrepiece: three cuts of Wagyu, three ways. Bavette, charred over coals with smoked béarnaise. Short rib, seared fast and paired with a bright nuoc chom. Rump cap, roasted slow until its fat caramelises, lifted with beef fat chimichurri. Each cut prepared to reveal the alchemy of flame. On the side, beef fat chips that crunch and smoulder, and a bitter leaf salad to cut through.
To finish:
Salted caramel buttermilk pudding with smoked beef fat cookie crumble – sweet, salty, and smoke-kissed. We’ll also be offering specially curated wine pairings – too good not to indulge in.
