Whole Fillet – Price £39.00 per kilo
Description
A whole beef fillet has a thinner, tapered end. Tuck this end under itself and then tie the whole thing up so that it is the same thickness all the way around. For steaks, stand each one up on a cut end and tie kitchen string around it so it's in a round shape.
Whether it's served at a romantic dinner for two or it's roasted whole as the centerpiece of a holiday dinner, beef fillet is the classic choice for a special and sometimes over-the-top main dish.
It's also one of the most expensive beef cuts around and by hanging our beef for 28 days ensures this cut has exceptional flavour, so there's a lot of pressure to not mess it up. Whether you're cooking fillet steaks for your sweetheart or roasting the whole cut for a crowd, here are some tips to help you have a great dinner.
Evenly cover the surface of the meat with a thin layer of sea salt, and don't be afraid to also use dried herbs or crushed garlic for some extra flavors. The salt will bring out the beefiness in the tenderloin.
Fillet is best served rare or medium rare, so use a thermometer to make sure it doesn't get cooked past 140°F in the center. If you have guests who like their meat well-done, consider cutting a whole tenderloin into pieces and cooking them to different temperatures to please everybody.
When your fillet is done cooking, set it aside in a warm place to rest a few minutes for steaks, and around 10 to 15 minutes for whole tenderloins. This lets the meat relax and gives it a chance to redistribute and reabsorb all the juices.
Rolled Sirloin Joint – Price £23.00 per kilo
Description
Our rolled sirloin joint is cut from the loin, then boned, trimmed and rolled, by a hand by a Dave or Ivan our traditional butcher. 'Sussex' rolled sirloin is a succulent traditional British beef classic dry-aged for a minimum of 28 days, for an exceptional depth of flavour and melt-in-the-mouth texture. For the best sirloin roast beef, mix garlic, thyme and olive oil with some black pepper. Rub over the beef and leave for at least 1 hr, the longer the better.
Top Rump Joint – Price £20.00 per kilo
Description
The prime cut is fantastic for roasting, as its very tender and can be carved into large lean slices. However, because the muscles used for this cut carry less marbling, they are usually sold ‘barded’. This means that thin sheets of fat, usually taken from the flank of the same animal, are wrapped around the outside of the rolled muscle then tied in place with string to produce a neat, cylindrical joint.
Some Coopers Farm tips for cooking beef joints.
- Let the meat come to room temperature before you cook it.
- Roast the beef at a high temperature (240°C/fan220°C/gas 9, or as high as your oven will go) for about 15 minutes to get the heat through to the centre of the joint. Then reduce the temperature to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5 and continue to roast for 12-13 minutes per 500g for rare, 17-18 minutes per 500g for medium, or 22-24 minutes per 500g for well done.
- Rest the meat before carving. This allows the meat fibres – which contract in the oven – to relax again, so the meat will be more tender.
