Fillet steak is the most tender cut of beef. It has little fat, so cook it basted in plenty of butter and a little oil. As it is such a tender piece of meat, you can serve it as rare as you like. Centre cut fillet steak is finely marbled and comes from the little-worked centre of the cow. Treat this prime ingredient with respect and cook it with care. You and your guests will be rewarded with a truly memorable dish.
We source local meat from farms in Wiltshire, Somerset and the South West. The Black Farmer makes sure that we get the absolute best and most sustainable breeds for the season. Our free range cows feed on grass and lead happy lives in the great British countryside. By working with local produce and farmers, we promote and encourage a sustainable and ethical approach to meat eating. This reduces animal stress and lowers food miles as much as possible.
Even the best meat still requires expert preparation, so we work with master butchers who ensure our centre cut fillet steak is carefully aged in ideal conditions. This is central to maintaining the quality you expect.
We vacuum pack our fillet steak to keep the meat fresh for longer. This also means it is suitable for home freezing, just make sure you defrost it properly. Remember to take centre cut fillet steak out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking. The meat will cook more evenly if it’s at room temperature. It is best to add seasoning after cooking, while the steak is resting.
The shelf life of this fillet steak is 12 days from the date of delivery.
