Fillet Steak Recipe FAQs

What is the best way to prepare fillet steak?

To ensure restaurant-standard fillet steak, the key is in the preparation. To prepare the perfect fillet steak, bring it to room temperature for 30-40 minutes, then pat it dry for a better sear. Season both sides of the fillet steak with sea salt and pepper before you add to your hot pan.

Where is the fillet steak cut from?

The fillet is an extremely tender and lean steak cut, which comes from the lower middle of the back.

Should fillet steak rest after cooking?

Yes, it’s essential to let your fillet steak rest for about 5-10 minutes after cooking. Patience is key – if you can resist! This rest period allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, ensuring a juicier and more flavourful steak when you cut into it.

Can you air fry fillet steak?

It is possible to use an air fryer for your fillet steak recipe. However, to ensure that you get the best flavours from your fillet steak, we recommend grilling or frying.

Can you marinate fillet steak?

While fillet steak is naturally tender and doesn’t require marinating, you can marinate it to add extra flavour. Marinating for anywhere between half an hour to two hours is recommended. If you are going to marinate, keep it simple with a fillet steak and avoid acidic marinades as they can break down the meat’s unparalleled texture.
