1.2-1.8kg. It is £59.99 (price checked 30 September 2026).

Is it fresh or frozen?

Frozen. Thaw it completely before cooking.

Can I cut my own fillet steaks from it?

Yes. Trim off the chain and silver skin, then cut the centre into steaks and use the tail for stir-fries.

Is beef fillet the same as beef tenderloin?

Yes. Beef tenderloin is simply the American name for the fillet, the long, lean muscle under the sirloin that does very little work, which is why it is the most tender cut on the animal. Our Whole Beef Fillet 1.2-1.8kg is the whole tenderloin.

How do I cut tenderloin steaks from a whole fillet?

Trim off any silver skin, then slice across the fillet into rounds about 4-5cm thick: those are your tenderloin (fillet) steaks, or filet mignon from the narrow end. Use the thick centre for chateaubriand. Prefer them ready cut? Pick up Fillet Steak 2x 6oz or browse fillet steaks.
