Cut OverviewAbout This Cut
Scotch fillet is the boneless ribeye, cut from the fore rib. The Charolais and Charbray cross delivers generous intramuscular fat, which bastes the steak as it cooks and gives it the signature buttery mouthfeel.
Tip: Render the fat cap first by holding the steak on its edge in the pan. It adds flavour to the cook fat and crisps the cap.
