Standard grass-fed fillet is the most tender cut on the animal but relatively lean. Our Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu fillet has the same extraordinary tenderness combined with fine, intricate Wagyu marbling — producing a buttery, melt-in-the-mouth steak with far more depth of flavour than a standard fillet. It's a completely different eating experience.

Bring to room temperature for 30 minutes. Season with sea salt only — the marbling provides all the flavour needed. Sear in a hot pan with a small amount of butter — 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. The Wagyu fat content means it needs less heat than standard beef. Rest for at least 5 minutes. Don't overcook — medium-rare is essential to showcase the marbling.

Our Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu cattle are raised on lush pastures across the British Isles by a collective of passionate Wagyu farmers. Raised in a low-emission, pasture-focused system with additional feed grown on the farm to reduce food miles. Hand-selected from the top 1% of cattle at slaughter.

Japanese A5 Wagyu has the highest marbling scores in the world and an intensely rich, fatty flavour — often best enjoyed in small portions. Our Golden Herd Heritage Wagyu has a more moderate marbling score with a cleaner, grassier flavour profile from the pasture-raised system. It's more versatile as a full steak portion and offers a distinctly British character.
