Galician Whole Beef Fillet, Dry-Aged, Grass-Fed, 2.6Kg, High Marbling, Tender, Low Fat, Rich Flavor Reviews

4.8 Rating 326 Reviews

Our Galician beef fillet comes from retired dairy cows between 8 and 12 years old, sourced from the Northwest of Spain. This type of ageing allows for natural grass-fed marbling of the beef, comparable to that of genetically optimised grain-fed US, Japanese and generic Wagyu beef. The older cows have a higher percentage fat content and more marbling, giving the fillet a distinct and unique flavour. All our galician fillets are dry-aged for a minimum of 7 days. Also known as Filet Mignon, Tenderloin, and the Eye Fillet, this is a lean, mean, and amazingly tender cut, prized for its quality. It can be enjoyed by either cooking it as steaks or roasting.

“I have been an extremely happy Basco customer in the past, but sadly not his time. When this expensive piece of meat arrived, it was only half a day before it’s preferred-consumption/best-before date. Just like another expensive piece of meat from the same order. I emailed Basco about this at the weekend — with regards to compensation — not had a reply as of today (Tuesday) I realise the meat had been reduced and was part of an 'Offer' but they did not state online that it was so very close to its best-before/preferred consumption date. I think it would be really useful for customers if Basco — on their webpages — included details of a batch of meat's best-before and use-by dates.”

“Just shy of 2.5kg, delivered quickly and efficiently This is a magnificent piece of meat. The marbling adding so much flavour and moisture to a piece of meat so tender and delicious. Portioned up we got 6 MASSIVE steaks (we don't to stingy portions in our house) the tail which will be used for stroganoff or tartare and the chateaubriand which will be having a date with the BBQ soon I will be reordering this often”

“Got this monster sized fillet from Basco. I love the marbling and just from looking at you can see the quality. I lived in Spain for 4 years so already appreciate the quality of Spanish meat which is from older cows rather than the younger meat we have in the UK. I portioned it into 7 double steaks. Pan fry it and the. A few minutes in the oven to bring it up to rare. Taking thin slices smothered in melted blue cheese. Delicious.”

“I ordered the Galician beef fillet for Christmas meaning to keep it in the deep freeze until then. However when it arrived it was so big, a shade under 3 kilos, that I cut the fillet mignon off and cooked it. It was the best beef that I have tasted with the tenderness of fillet but the rich taste of beef which is often not so pronounced with fillet. I am really looking forward to eating the rest on Christmas day. Thoroughly recommended.”

“Excellent fillet steak- we cut it into steaks as suggested ( for freezing) and 2 larger pieces for beef Wellington. We also had 2 steaks cooked as suggested and they were very tender. Looking forward to ordering more.”

“Really excellent - just had 750g roasted for 3 - and loads left. Lovely favour and melted in the mouth. Great thing is if you are not cooking for a crowd - difficult during lockdown! - you can portion and freeze. Very impressed and will definitely buy again.”
