While a fillet can sometimes mean any boneless cut of meat, a fillet is actually cut from the lower part of the cow’s back. The area which sits beneath the ribs next to the backbone and forms part of the sirloin. Because this area of the animal doesn’t do much work, beef fillets are often very tender.
A beef fillet is the whole joint, whereas the fillet steaks are the whole joint cut into thick slices. You should note that fillet steaks are cut much thicker than popular sirloin or picanha steaks, as they are usually around 4cm thick.
Although our expert butchers offer high-quality cuts, you may want to do these next steps at home: start by wiping away any moisture or blood with a clean tea towel. Next, use a sharp knife to carefully remove any membrane on the joint. Finally, chop your beef fillet into steaks or leave it whole for an impressive roasting joint.
Start by cutting off any silver skin on your joint, and marinate your fillet with a butter, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper mixture overnight. In a hot pan, seal the edges of your fillet until a beautiful golden crust forms by basting your joint with juices. Add your fillet joint to a large tray with carrots and parsnips before slow roasting in the oven.
Roast your beef fillet in the oven at 180 degrees for roughly 30-40 minutes. Use a temperature probe to check your desired doneness before serving.
Beef fillet is also referred to as beef tenderloin, tenderloin steak, or eye fillet in some countries like Australia. Beef fillets are sometimes called fillet mignon, as they are cut from the same area on the cow.
Absolutely! Start by heating your pan to a high temperature, whilst waiting for the pan to heat, season your room-temperature meat with salt and pepper to taste. Place the fillet steak in the pan and leave it alone to cook. Once your steak is looking golden brown, reduce the heat and turn the steak more often to prevent burning. Don’t forget to rest your meat after cooking, this helps to lock in flavour and juiciness.
Serve your luxurious and flavourful fillet steak with a fresh wedge salad and tangy dressing for a tasty lunch. Alternatively, serve with buttery sauteed vegetables and grilled corn on the cob for a dinner that the whole family will enjoy.
We’d suggest serving around 200g of beef fillet per person for a main meal. So for six adults, a 1.5kg cut would be perfect. Try our Black Label Argentine Fillet or USDA CHOICE Chateaubriand to feed six adults.
It’s really down to personal preference! Fillet steak is usually extremely tender as it’s cut from the opposite side of the ribs to the sirloin, meaning the muscle is not used as much. On the other hand, sirloin is cut from the loin and is excellently marbled, making it tender and juicy. Explore our range of classic sirloin steaks here, all available for delivery within the UK.
