The most expensive steak in the world is the Japanese Wagyu beef, known as Kobe Beef. Only about three thousand cows per year are certified as Kobe Beef and sold at a whopping $100 per pound. To qualify for this coveted title, cattle must be born and raised in Hyogo Prefecture, fed grain until they’re two years old, then switched to a special diet of beer and beef before being slaughtered at age four. As such, each one-pound steak costs around $922.
