Organic 28-day Aged Beef Fillet Tail
Buttery soft steaks full of succulent flavour - we love this 'no-waste' cut
Quite rightly, the fillet is considered the prize on the beef carcass. It sits nestled below the sirloin and above the flank on the animal's side and really isn't a hard worker. This means that if you want the softest, most tender cut of beef, fillet is the way to go. It's otherwise known as the tenderloin, which pretty much sums it up. The fillet is a long muscle that tapers off towards the end. Prime fillet steak is cut from the centre of the muscle; chateaubriand comes from the thicker 'cap' end, which leaves the tapering 'tail'. The flavour, texture and quality of the tail is every bit as good as the rest of the cut, it's just a slightly inconsistent shape. That's why we leave it as a generously portioned piece, so you can decide if you want to cook it as one or portion it for two.
At The Organic Butchery, we know that the finest meat comes from animals that have lived high-welfare lives, and our organic grass-fed beef cattle produce steaks of exceptional quality.
Minimum Shelf Life: 9 Days
- 1 x 500g, Serves 2
At The Organic Butchery we put a lot of time and effort, plus a lot of care and attention, into rearing our beef cattle. A natural diet of organic grass means the calves grow strong and healthy, with robust bones and substantial muscles. We believe that nature knows what she's up to, so we don't hurry things along. We let our beef animals grow slowly to natural maturity, and that ensure the meat they produce is tender, flavoursome and has the perfect balance of fat to muscle.

Your organic fillet tail comes as portion of approximately 350g. That's a generous portion for one (go ahead, we're not judging) or a sharing portion for two. As with all cuts of fillet, cooking it quick and hot is the best way to preserve the succulence and tender texture. So be brave and cook your fillet tail on a smoking hot griddle for just over a minute per side, before letting it rest, wrapped in foil, for five or ten minutes more. You'll be rewarded with a juicy, butter-soft interior and a crisp outside. Fillet tail is also an excellent choice of cut for dishes such as beef stroganoff, which are cooked quickly, so call for a really tender strips of meat.
