Description

Our Whole Beef Fillet is the most prestigious large beef cut available – a fresh, magnificent fillet weighing between 2kg and 2.5kg, hand-prepared by Barlows' fourth-generation Nottinghamshire butchers with the skill and precision this extraordinary cut deserves. The tenderloin runs along the spine and is the least-worked muscle on the animal, making it extraordinarily lean and melt-in-the-mouth tender throughout. Buying the whole fillet gives you complete flexibility – roast it whole for a spectacular centrepiece, cut it into individual fillet steaks of exactly the thickness you desire, prepare a classic Chateaubriand from the thickest centre section, or use the whole piece to create the ultimate Beef Wellington. For a whole roasted fillet, season generously, sear until golden on all sides and roast in a very hot oven for 15-20 minutes for a perfect medium-rare throughout. Rest for ten minutes before carving into generous, even slices. The result is a beautifully uniform, strikingly pink joint that is as stunning to present as it is to eat. For a Beef Wellington, wrap in mushroom duxelles, Parma ham and puff pastry for a show-stopping centrepiece that will have your guests talking for years. A Barlows luxury for your most special occasion.
