Whole uncut, chain off Fillets of Beef, great to steak yourself, as roasting joints or best of all beef wellington! Yum!!
1.8-2.2Kg whole fillets
Bring the whole fillet to room temperature (about 1-2 hours out of the fridge, depending on size) for even cooking.
Pat dry thoroughly and season generously with sea salt and black pepper (or add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic for extra aroma).
For roasting whole: Preheat oven to 220°C (fan 200°C / Gas 7) for initial sear, then reduce. Sear in a hot pan or directly in the oven for 10-15 minutes to brown, then roast at 180°C (fan 160°C) for 15-20 minutes per 500g plus extra time for medium-rare (use a meat thermometer: target 50-55°C internal for rare, 55-60°C for medium-rare). Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
For Beef Wellington: Sear the fillet briefly for a crust, cool, wrap with mushroom duxelles and pastry, then bake at around 200°C (fan 180°C) for 35-50 minutes depending on size (aim for medium-rare internal).
For portioning into steaks: Cut into even portions (e.g., 200-300g each), then sear in a very hot pan 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Rest loosely covered with foil for 15-20 minutes (or longer for larger joints) before carving or slicing, this lets the juices redistribute for incredibly tender, flavourful results.
Carve thickly against the grain into even slices.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve simply roasted with red wine jus, roasted vegetables, and potatoes to highlight the delicate tenderness, or as Beef Wellington sliced thickly with Madeira sauce, creamy mash, or seasonal greens for the ultimate luxurious feast, pair with classic sauces like peppercorn or béarnaise for added indulgence.
