The fillets taken from Spanish ex-dairy cattle, left to roam Basque country pasture until they're between 8 and 12 years old. A little less intense than the Galician beef, the steaks still pack a punch flavour with a nice marbling.
COOKING TIPS
BASQUE FILLET
- Ensure the cut is at room temperature by removing from the fridge at least 2 hours before cooking.
- Get your grill or pan smoking hot.
- At the last minute, season well with our Great Cow Rub - use a tiny bit of oil or none at all, if the grill or pan is hot enough, it won't stick.
- Stick your steak on! Levae for a couple of mins to get a good colour then turn. Keep turning regularly to avoid burning. Cook for:
