Tallow Scotch Fillet Steak

Serves: 1

Ingredients

1 Cape Grim Reserve Scotch Fillet Steak
1 tablespoon Cape Grim Beef Tallow (solid or melted)
Sea salt
Cracked black pepper

To Serve

Green salad
Our Tallow Roasted Potatoes (see recipe above)

Method

1. Remove the steak from the fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
2. Season generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
3. Heat a cast iron pan over high heat until very hot. Add the tallow and allow it to melt and begin to shimmer.
4. Place the steak into the pan and cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side for medium rare, depending on thickness.
5. Remove from the pan and rest on a plate for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
6. If using leftover roasted potatoes, add them to the same pan to reheat and crisp up in the remaining tallow.
7. Slice the steak and serve with a fresh green salad and tallow roasted potatoes.

Notes & Variations

For best results, use a heavy-based pan such as cast iron to achieve a proper sear.

Avoid moving the steak too much while cooking to develop a deep crust.

Resting the steak is essential for a juicy result.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve simply with salad and potatoes or elevate with a classic peppercorn sauce or herb butter. Also pairs well sliced over a fresh salad or grain bowl.
