Cut Overview
About This Cut

Scotch fillet comes from the rib section and is the most marbled of the common steak cuts. The fat melts as it cooks, keeping the meat rich and juicy. Very forgiving: stays moist even pushed to medium. Optimal at 55 to 58°C for medium-rare. For thick cuts over 3cm, reverse sear in a low oven to 45°C then finish hard in a cast iron pan.

Recipe Suggestions
Recipes
01
Dry-Aged Style Pan Scotch FilletPan sear • 15 min • Serves 2
You'll Need
2 x scotch fillet steaks (250g each)1 tbsp beef tallow2 tbsp butter2 garlic cloves, smashed2 sprigs rosemaryFlaky salt
Method
1Pat steaks completely dry with paper towel. Season with flaky salt.
2Heat cast iron over high heat until smoking. Add tallow.
3Sear steaks 3 minutes per side. Add butter, garlic and rosemary on the second side.
4Baste with foaming butter for 1 minute. Pull at 54°C internal.
5Rest 5 minutes on a wire rack. The marbling will redistribute as it rests.
Tip: Scotch fillet is forgiving because the fat keeps it moist. Still, dont overcook -- stop at 55-57°C.
02
Scotch Fillet with Caramelised OnionPan sear • 45 min • Serves 2
You'll Need
2 x scotch fillet steaks (250g each)2 large brown onions, thinly sliced2 tbsp butter1 tbsp olive oil1 tsp brown sugar1 tbsp balsamic vinegarFlaky salt and pepper
Method
1Start onions first. Melt butter and oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt.
2Cook onions slowly for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and soft.
3Add sugar and balsamic. Cook 2-3 more minutes. Set aside.
4Cook steaks in a separate hot pan using the standard method.
5Serve steaks topped with a generous spoonful of caramelised onion.
Tip: Low and slow is the only way for proper caramelised onion. Rushing it gives you soft onion, not caramelised.
03
Asian-Marinated Scotch FilletBBQ / Pan sear • 20 min plus 2 hrs marinating • Serves 2
You'll Need
2 x scotch fillet steaks (250g each)3 tbsp soy sauce1 tbsp sesame oil2 tbsp mirin or dry sherry3 garlic cloves, minced2 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated1 tsp brown sugar1 tbsp vegetable oil for cookingSliced spring onions and toasted sesame seeds to serveSteamed rice to serve
Method
1Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, garlic, ginger and sugar. Submerge steaks and marinate 2 hours minimum in the fridge.
2Remove steaks, scrape off excess marinade (or it will burn).
3Heat a pan or BBQ grill over high heat. Add vegetable oil.
4Sear steaks 2.5-3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
5Rest 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
6Scatter spring onions and sesame seeds over. Serve with steamed rice.
Tip: Scraping off the excess marinade before cooking is important -- the sugar and soy will burn on a hot grill before the steak is cooked through.
