Old Cow - Fillet Steak

Our Old Cow Beef is a product of both dedication and exceptional farming partnerships. It is sourced from one of two herds we work with specifically to produce this wonderful meat: traditional-breed Lincoln Reds from the Yard Hill herd at Iken, and Belted Galloways from the Carr Farm herd on the River Waveney. These grass-fed cattle live freely from 5-12 years on rich meadows and marshes. This extended grazing allows the cattle to develop extraordinary flavour, renowned for its richness and creamy marbling. We honour this unique beef by slow-hanging each carcass for 8-10 weeks, ensuring its impeccable quality and depth of flavour.

> Pan-fry

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.
