Born & Bred Eye Fillet Steak – 260g

Born & Bred Eye Fillet is 100% pure New Zealand beef, proudly made in NZ. Eye fillet is the most tender steak you can buy, with a soft, buttery texture and very little fat. It’s the cut for special dinners, date nights and anyone who wants a steak that almost cuts with a fork.

Why eye fillet?

The fillet muscle does very little work, which is what makes it so tender. The flavour is milder than sirloin or rump, so it pairs well with sauces like peppercorn, mushroom or red wine jus.

How to cook Born & Bred Eye Fillet

• Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking
• Pat dry, oil the meat and season with salt and pepper
• Sear in a very hot pan for 2–3 minutes each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness
• For thicker steaks, finish in a 200°C oven for 3–5 minutes
• Rest for 5 minutes before serving
• Best served rare to medium; being lean, it dries out if overcooked

Storage
