Fillet Steak x 1
£13.78 – £22.80
Fillet steak is the most tender cut of beef. It has little fat, and is best cooked and basted in butter and a little oil. As it is such a tender piece of meat, you can serve it as rare as you like. Fillet steak is finely marbled and comes from the little-worked centre of the sirloin along the back 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. Wiltshire Country Fayre 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.

Preparation: Remove the fillet steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to ensure it cooks evenly.
Seasoning: Rub with olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the fillet.
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or frying pan to high heat, which is crucial for a perfect sear on your fillet steak.
Cooking: Grill the fillet steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for a medium-rare finish. The internal temperature should reach 52-54°C.

Storage Instructions
To ensure the freshness and quality of Fillet Steak, proper storage is essential. Store the fillet steak in the refrigerator at a temperature below 40°F (4°C). It is recommended to keep the steak in its original packaging or place it in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag to prevent any potential contamination or exposure to air. Properly stored, fillet steak can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. If you don't plan to use it within that time frame, you can also freeze the fillet steak. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in a freezer-safe container or bag. Frozen fillet steak can maintain its quality for approximately 3-4 months. When ready to cook, thaw the steak in the refrigerator before cooking it to your desired doneness. Remember to handle and cook the steak safely and consume it within a few days for the best taste and texture.
