Fillet Steak

Premium British or Irish Fillet Steak, cut from the tenderloin.

Fillet is the most tender and lean of all steaks, taken from the centre of the loin where the muscle does very little work. With only a small amount available per animal, it remains one of the most prized and sought-after cuts.

Exceptionally soft in texture and refined in flavour, fillet is perfect for pan-searing and finishing with butter for an elegant, restaurant-quality result. Ideal for special occasions or when only the most tender steak will do.

Choose from:

• 6oz
• 8oz

Steaks are hand-cut, so weights may vary slightly.
