Here's The Single Most Expensive Steak Your Money Can Buy

A steak generally costs more than a typical meal, but if you're interested in trying the world's most expensive steak, get your hands on an A5 Kobe steak — a type of Wagyu beef.
Costing about $480 to $700 per pound, Kobe beef is exceptionally tender, with a marbling throughout, but only around 5,500 cows are used annually to produce these cuts.
This keeps Kobe steak exclusive and, thus, costly. Kobe beef must come from Tajima cows born and raised — and eventually slaughtered — in Hyogo Prefecture, an area in Japan.
Kobe beef is already regarded as the highest-quality beef in the world, and the A5 rating coming from the Japanese rating system represents the best grade a cut can receive.
