Fillet steak - £ premium priced steak cut
Fillet steak, also known as tenderloin, is a prized cut from the beef loin. It originates from the muscle that runs along the spine, resulting in its tender and lean texture.
With minimal marbling, it has a lower fat content compared to other cuts of beef, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious individuals. To preserve its tenderness and flavour, the best cooking method is quick and on a high heat.
Ribeye steak - £ mid-range priced steak cut
Ribeye steak is taken from the rib section of the cow, specifically from the ribeye muscle. Its marbling is abundant, giving it exceptional flavour, tenderness, and juiciness.
The high-fat content results in a succulent steak offering a premium menu choice. The best cooking method for ribeye steak is grilling or pan searing.
Sirloin steak - £ mid-range priced steak cut
Sirloin steak comes from the sirloin section of the cow, located just behind the rib section. It is a leaner cut with moderate marbling, making it a popular choice for those seeking a balance between tenderness and lower fat content.
