What is American Wagyu?

American Wagyu blends Japanese heritage with American ranching. It comes from cattle bred from Japanese Wagyu genetics, prized for their intricate marbling and tenderness, and raised on U.S. ranches with the care, space and feed program that shape American ranching traditions.

The result is a steak that combines the luxurious texture of Japanese Wagyu with the bold, hearty flavor of American beef. At Ozark Natural Steak Co., our Wagyu is raised locally in Arkansas pastures, free from added hormones and finished on a natural feed program to develop its signature marbling and buttery richness.

What Makes the Beef Stand Out

Buttery Flavor

Fine marbling gives each cut rich, buttery flavor and a tender bite.

Tender Texture

Low-stress handling and careful aging keep the texture tender without rushing the process.

Clean & Slow-Aged

Slow aging builds deeper flavor while keeping the clean taste of American Wagyu.

The Family
Behind the Beef

Dustin, his wife Denise, and their children Sawyer and Kenley Smith put animal well-being first, raising cattle with care to deliver steaks that exceed expectations.

What started with grit and stewardship has grown into a full cattle operation, then a commercial beef business, and eventually Ozark Natural Steak Co.

We believe great beef starts with stewardship, low-stress handling, clean feed and the patience to do it right. Every decision is made with the animals' well-being in mind.

“ We are extremely grateful for the land, the cattle, and the families we serve.”
