Description

WHAT IS GALICIAN BEEF?

At Basco, we only source the highest quality beef from Galicia in the Northwest of Spain. Our Galician beef fillet comes from retired dairy cows between 8 and 12 years old. This type of ageing allows more natural grass-fed marbling of the beef so that its comparable to the marbling of genetically optimised grain-fed US, Japanese and generic Wagyu beef. These older cows are chubbier animals, have a higher percentage fat content and as such have more marbling, giving the fillet a distinct and unique flavour. All our galician fillets are dry-aged for a minimum of 7 days.

WHAT IS GALICIAN FILLET?

Also known as Filet Mignon, Tenderloin, and the Eye Fillet, this is the most sought-after Galician beef cut, prized for its tender quality. Our Whole Galician fillet is lean, mean, and amazingly tender which will melt in the mouth. Low in fat, but rich in flavour when cooked, this is a Rolls Royce of Galician beef, that can be enjoyed by either cooking it as steaks or roasting as a whole piece.

HOW TO COOK A GALICIAN FILLET?

The perfect way to cook and serve a Galician Fillet Steak is to bring the fillet to room temperature-for at least 6 hours. Cut the fillet steak into 3-inch thick medallions and salt both sides of the steak with some rock salt 30 minutes before cooking. Cook the steak on charcoal barcecue for 4 minutes on each side, allow to rest for 2 minutes in a warm place. To serve the steak, slice thinly accross, season with salt flakes and serve on a warm plate or platter.
