We Cooked Japanese A5 Wagyu Directly on a Salt Block

In this video, Johan Magnusson of Big Swede BBQ shows you a unique way to cook one of the most luxurious cuts of beef in the world—a Japanese A5 Wagyu Strip Steak cooked on a salt block.

With A5 Wagyu, the incredible marbling is the star of the show, so the goal is to keep the technique simple and let the beef speak for itself. The hot salt block creates an even sear while gently seasoning the steak as it cooks, giving the exterior a beautiful crust without overpowering the rich, buttery flavor of the Wagyu.

This is all about restraint: premium beef, controlled heat, and just enough salt. No complicated sauces. No heavy seasoning. Just an incredible piece of A5 Wagyu cooked in a way that makes every bite count.

Iberico vs. Grocery Store Pork Chops | Is Premium Pork Really Worth It?

In this video, Johan Magnusson of Big Swede BBQ puts regular grocery store pork head-to-head against Iberico pork from Campo Grande in the ultimate side-by-side comparison.

We cook rib pork chops from both pigs using the exact same technique, allowing the meat to speak for itself. You'll see the differences in marbling, color, fat composition, tenderness, juiciness, and overall flavor as we compare every bite.

What makes Iberico pork so special? Its abundant intramuscular marbling, high levels of heart-healthy oleic acid, and traditional free-range upbringing create a pork that's richer, juicier and much more flavorful.

Is the premium price worth it? There's only one way to find out.

Watch as we slice, taste, and compare these two rib pork chops side by side—and decide for yourself which one comes out on top.
