Beef Filet Steak Recipe Instructions
Defrost in the fridge overnight or defrost in the water a couple of hours before cooking. Open the package and let the steak breathe for at least 15 minutes.
The color will change to a vivid red. Shortly before cooking, start seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Grass-fed beef is very lean with a high red-meat ratio, especially the tenderloin parts. Use either olive oil or salt-free butter to cook the steak.
The filet steaks need to be cooked very slowly and carefully. We do not recommend more than medium-rare. Turn often and make sure you have an oil splatter screen at hand.
Once the steak's internal temperature has reached 50°C or 120°F - turn off the heat and move the steak to a cutting board. The steak will continue to cook on residue heat.
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes.
Slice thinly and serve while still warm.
If needed, sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Enjoy.
