For a special steak night, a delicious and tender grass-fed steak
We all know that Fillet Steak is special. This is because the tenderloin that it’s cut from is one of the most underused muscles in the beef carcass, so it’s particularly lean and wonderfully soft.
Because our traditional-breed Suffolk beef is such good quality you don’t need to do too much to our fillet steaks to enjoy their melt-in-the-mouth tenderness. However, for a good flavour combination try a French peppercorn or a creamy mushroom sauce. They don’t need long in the pan – they’re best cooked medium rare and then left to rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes.
This fantastic cut of beef comes from free-roaming native breed cattle that are 100% grass-fed on meadows and pasture at one of our outstanding small, local Suffolk farms.
Allow up to 220g per person, though 170g is fine for smaller appetites

Gerard's Suggestion
Our beef comes from trusted local Suffolk farms, carefully selected for their dedication to quality and sustainable practices. We work closely with farmers like Emily Winter, who slowly matures her 100% grass-fed Lincoln Red herd at Darrow Farm to produce exceptional beef, and the Somerleyton Estate, known for its regeneratively raised Welsh Black and Highland cattle. We are also proud to partner with Natasha Mann, whose award-winning Lincoln Reds graze by the River Alde’s lush meadows, yielding beautifully marbled, rich, and tender beef. Receiving whole carcasses allows us to hang the meat for 4 - 8 weeks (or more by request), ensuring superior flavour and texture.
> Pan-fry and Grill
1. Take your fillet steaks out of the fridge and make sure they are nice and dry. Pop on a plate and allow to reach room temperature.
2. Rub a little oil into the steaks, season well with some crunchy sea salt (Maldon sea salt flakes work well), some cracked black pepper and perhaps a little garlic.
3. Heat your pan or griddle until smoking hot.
4. Place the fillet steaks into the dry pan and try not to move or turn them for 1-2 minutes. Turn them over to the other side, reduce the heat a little and do the same on all sides until you have a good crust.
5. Total cooking time should be about 7-9 minutes.
6. Take out of the pan and leave to rest for 6-10 minutes. I use a wooden board with some greaseproof and a tea towel on top.
