How to cook it
- Take it out of the fridge an hour ahead.
- Fold the thin tail underneath and tie the fillet with string, so that it has one thickness from end to end.
- Brown it all over on high heat, then turn the heat down: a low oven brings it to 54–57 °C (129–135 °F) for medium-rare.
- Fillet has no fat cover to protect it, so check the temperature early.
- Rest it for ten to fifteen minutes and carve slices a finger thick.
- Mushroom, red wine, romesco or blue cheese sauce all suit it.
Before you order a fillet this size
Does every piece weigh exactly 2.5 kg?
No. The weight is approximate; the shop lists pieces of over 2 kg. The price is per piece, not per kilo.
Can I have it for Christmas?
Yes. We recommend the dispatch of Wednesday 16 December, delivered on Thursday 17. The last one is Wednesday 23 for Thursday 24 before 13:00, with no margin for a second attempt. See Christmas meat delivery.
Will it work for beef Wellington?
Yes. Use the even centre section and cut the head and tail into steaks for another day. Other oven cuts are on the roast beef joints page.
