Most Expensive Beef Cuts in the World

3. Select Special Kobe Filet

Price: $246 for a 5.6-oz filet

Our top three most expensive beef cuts in the world feature price tags above $200, making them a truly exclusive culinary treat. The Kobe Renga-Tei Steak Restaurant in Japan is home to the Kobe filet and the all-female kitchen staff prepares this cut with extreme care, covering it in a fine Japanese paper before resting it on a copper and iron grill. The idea behind this technique is to recall the way professional sumo wrestlers used to grill wild boar over 200 years ago.
