Honor your favorite team and impress your guests by elevating a classic LA/NY dish with Wagyu-Angus beef. Try something new and bring the flavors and spirit of the city you're rooting for to your game-day BBQ with friends and family.
Why choose our Wagyu-Angus beef for your game-day BBQ?
Yolo 8 Meats™ was founded by Gerardo Parra, professional baseball player and dad, to share delicious athlete-quality protein with you. Gerardo prefers Wagyu-Angus beef for a few reasons.
Wagyu genetics give our beef unique marbling that provides a rich, buttery taste and a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Angus genetics give our beef a rich umami flavor. It’s the best of both worlds, without the A5 Wagyu price tag.
We hand-select our Wagyu-Angus cross beef cattle from herds that are grass-fed and grain-finished by Texas ranchers, ensuring that each cut meets our high standards for health, balance, and flavor.

LA Style with Carne Asada Tacos
Beef carne asada is a delicious preparation of sliced grilled beef steak served on soft corn tortillas, topped with onions, cilantro, and salsa, which is popular throughout LA thanks to Mexican immigrants. Carne asada is such a part of LA that Dodger Stadium sells asada nachos in a baseball helmet.
This recipe for Sonora-Style Carne Asada Tacos from Pati Jinich would be a great way to prepare our juicy and tender flat iron steak, flank steak, or tri-tip steaks.
NY Style Chopped Cheese
Chopped cheese is a staple in bodegas throughout New York’s Harlem neighborhood, where it originated in the 1990s. It's also Yankees captain Aaron Judge's favorite pregame meal, and you can buy it at the Yankees stadium. New Yorkers will tell you it's like a burger, but more flavorful. The way the beef is prepared gives it more caramelization, and it has grilled onion and gooey cheese mixed throughout the beef.
This recipe for NY-Style Chopped Cheese Sandwiches from NYT Cooking takes it up a notch and would make a ridiculously delicious chopped cheese with our Wagyu-Angus ground beef.
