Holstein Cow Loin without the Fillet (Lomo de Vaca Holstein sin Solomillo)
A loin of mature Holstein cow with the fillet (US: tenderloin) taken off, lomo sin solomillo. What stays is the long steak muscle of the back, which a Spanish butcher slices into chuletón on the bone or entrecot off it. The Spanish listing does not state the weight of the piece.

How to cook it
- Slice the steaks yourself, cold, and on the thick side: thin steaks overcook before they colour.
- Leave a thin layer of covering fat on. Stand each steak on that fat edge first, in a hot, dry, heavy pan, and fry it in what melts out.
- Then two to three minutes on each face for a steak of entrecot thickness.
- Stop at medium-rare, 54–57 °C (129–135 °F), or rare, 50–52 °C (122–126 °F).
- Rest five minutes and salt after slicing.
Questions about the Holstein loin
Why is it sold without the fillet?
The fillet is taken off and sold on its own as solomillo; see our fillet steak page. What remains gives the grilling steaks.
Is Holstein different from frisona?
No. Spanish butchers say frisona, the rest of the world says Holstein or Holstein-Friesian. Both our loins are on the Holstein-Friesian beef page.
Bone-in or boneless?
The Spanish text does not say, so assume neither. Ask us on WhatsApp how the current pieces are cut. The knife work for both is in how to cut a whole loin into steaks.
