Galician Whole Beef Fillet, Dry-Aged, Grass-Fed, 2.6Kg, High Marbling, Tender, Low Fat, Rich Flavor 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 bought this to freeze down for one of our Christmas meats. Before doing that I sneaked a couple of 2inch steaks. I cooked one medium rare and one medium well. Regarding flavour and texture this is very different to normal fiillets. If you prefer mature cheddar to mild or medium you will love this. It is more gamey but don’t be put off as not as more subtle than say venison or pheasant. After 10 minute rest time I did find the medium rare far too chewy as the fat did not have time to render unlike the medium well one. Whilst I like medium rare normally I would treat this more like a rib eye, and then some, and would finish a 3 inch cut in a conventional oven. I don't have a sous vide but I reckon it would work very well then finished on a cast iron griddle pan if cooking for a crowd. I dropped a star as even though I went for a 2 inch steak going by the cooking recommendation it would have been inedible at 3 inches. Hoping for even better taste when roasting albeit not a beef wellington as I had planned. Ps. There was a lot of sinew on my piece so whilst you want to retain the yummy fat you won’t regret 10 minutes spent trimming.

The quality and flavour of the Galician Beef Fillet is excepional. Cut into fillets to use immediately, or kept whole and frozen, the quality remains excellent.
