Our exquisite fillet steak is a masterpiece of culinary delight, known for its melt-in-the-mouth tenderness and rich, beefy flavour. Cut from the tenderloin, this prized steak is the epitome of gourmet dining, offering a luscious texture and subtle marbling that ensures every bite is a supreme indulgence.
Key Features for our beef fillet steak:
-
Tenderness - Known for being one of the most tender cuts of beef, fillet steak comes from the least worked muscle on the animal, ensuring a melt-in-the-mouth texture.
-
Versatility - Fillet steak can be prepared in various ways, from simple seasoning and high-heat searing to being paired with sauces like peppercorn, béarnaise, or red wine reduction.
-
Leanness - Fillet steaks are typically very lean with minimal fat and marbling, making them a healthier option compared to other cuts.
Cooking Tips - For the perfect cook keep it simple. Season the steak with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance its natural flavour. Add a light rub of olive oil to prevent sticking. Preheat your skillet or grill until it's very hot. This helps create a nice sear on the steak, locking in the juices and forming a delicious crust. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to your liking. Make sure to rest your steak for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Pairing Suggestions: Red wines which are medium to full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Pinot Noir are classic accompaniments. White wines for a lighter option such as a rich Chardonnay can complement the steak without overshadowing it. For side dishes why not try something different like garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus and creamed spinach.
For something extra why not try a classic peppercorn sauce or diane sauce to accompany your meal?
