Holy Grail Steaks Bushugyu Wagyu A5 Strip<\/a>\u00a0($189)<\/h3>\nWhile the more than $10 per ounce price tag makes this steak<\/a> beyond decadent, I\u2019ve tested Holy Grail\u2019s premium Wagyu and don\u2019t doubt that this will be the best steak my father has ever eaten. I would buy him a bottle of scotch with a price tag north of $150 or grab the bill at a holiday dinner at a fancy steakhouse in appreciation of all he has done for me <\/strong>so this most luxurious of steaks feels just right\u2014especially since he\u2019ll be able to prepare it in the comfort of his own home.<\/p>\n
