Cooking Help and Hints:
Fillet: Best known as the tenderest cut, it is also one of the most expensive. It has truly little fat and is best served as rare.
Below is a list of cooking categories, choose your preference and follow the advice to achieve the perfect steak for you.
- Blue: Should still be a dark colour, almost purple, and just warm. It will feel spongy with no resistance.
- Rare: Dark red in colour with some red juice flowing. It will feel soft and spongy with slight resistance.
- Medium-rare: Pink in colour with some juice. It will be a bit soft and spongy and slightly springy.
- Medium: Pale pink in the middle with hardly any juice. It will feel firm and springy.
- Well-done: Only a trace of pink colour but not dry. It will feel spongy and soft and slightly springy.
It is particularly important to take into consideration the size weight of your steak before calculating the cooking time, always bring your steak up to room temperature before cooking.
