Should I cook the American Wagyu NY Strip (left package) at a different temp than I would the "regular" Prime NY Strip (right package)?
I splurged for the ones on the left (American Wagyu). Marbling doesn't look massively different than the Prime, it's not like it's ribeye (I'm with ya, 137 ribeye gang), so should I just stick to what I normally do for NY Strip?
I normally would cook the steaks on the right at 131 for 2.5 hours (2.5 because they are 1.5" thick, over one pound each).
Please base your answer not on what you like to cook at, but just: should I cook Wagyu DIFFERENTLY (time and temp) than I normally do for the same cut when it's Prime?

I firmly feel this is a classic marketing issue. These both look almost identical in grade. “American wagyu” is a breed like “angus”. It is not a grade of beef. These will cook the same. Based on the marbling, I say 137 so the fat caps will be rendered. Buy the one on the right and save 45 dollars.
Nice I would have picked the left too! I don’t use the same temp every time, but those steaks would be amazing 131-134°
Shouldn’t even have bought the American wagyu. Doesn’t look any better than prime.
