Galician Whole Beef Fillet 2.6Kg Reviews

4.8 Rating 279 Reviews

WHAT IS GALICIAN BEEF? At Basco, we only source the highest quality beef from Galicia in the Northwest of Spain. Our Galician beef fillet comes from retired dairy cows between 8 and 12 years old. This type of ageing allows more natural grass-fed marbling of the beef so that its comparable to the marbling of genetically optimised grain-fed US, Japanese and generic Wagyu beef. These older cows are chubbier animals, have a higher percentage fat content and as such have more marbling, giving the fillet a distinct and unique flavour. All our galician fillets are dry-aged for a minimum of 7 days. WHAT IS GALICIAN FILLET? Also known as Filet Mignon, Tenderloin, and the Eye Fillet, this is the most sought-after Galician beef cut, prized for its tender quality. Our Whole Galician fillet is lean, mean, and amazingly tender which will melt in the mouth. Low in fat, but rich in flavour when cooked, this is a Rolls Royce of Galician beef, that can be enjoyed by either cooking it as steaks or roasting as a whole piece. HOW TO COOK A GALICIAN FILLET? The perfect way to cook and serve a Galician Fillet Steak is to bring the fillet to room temperature-for at least 6 hours. Cut the fillet steak into 3-inch thick medallions and salt both sides of the steak with some rock salt 30 minutes before cooking. Cook the steak on charcoal barcecue for 4 minutes on each side, allow to rest for 2 minutes in a warm place. To serve the steak, slice thinly accross, season with salt flakes and serve on a warm plate or platter. HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY GALICIAN FILLET? You will receive one fresh whole Galician fillet vac pac delivered on ice pads. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE SOURCE THIS PRODUCT IN VARIABLE WEIGHT PACKS, SO EXPECT A WEIGHT VARIATION OF APPROXIMATELY 200G +/- ON YOUR GALICIAN FILLET.

Full flavoured beef fillet with a good texture. Expensive but worth it for a special treat.

this has to be one of the finest-tasting pieces of beef I've tasted, tender while still retaining enough texture elevating it above the majority of beef fillet. I like the fact that dairy cattle are used to their full potential & not used for pet food more people should try meat such as this to appreciate what top quality food tastes like.

Lovely meat: tender, and much more tasty than regular fillet (thanks to being from an older cow). I did need to trim some of the beef to remove unwanted connective tissue. This wasn't a problem as I was going to butcher the fillet into steaks anyway. A great value way of buying good steak.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT Tail can be used for stroganoff, middle cut for chateaubriand or beef wellington and a further 6 fillet steaks from the whole fillet makes this, not only a quality product but represents great value too.

This item was very popular, especially at the discounted price. After it went in and out of stock several times before I could put in an order, I finally managed a successful order on Tuesday 20/12 and the item arrived the following day. Excellent service, especially with the pre-Xmas rush and other problems. The meat was of great quality, and we enjoyed two portions on the day before freezing the rest. Highly recommended!!
