Australian Wagyu Filet (8 oz. - Score 6/7)

About this Cut

Our Australian Wagyu filet is the most tender cuts you'll find, as well as one of the leanest. The filet mignon or tenderloin, is not known as much for its butteriness and flavor-fulness like some of our other cuts, however, it is renowned for its incredibly soft texture and true beef taste. Adding additional ingredients takes this cut over the top. It is delicious when cooked and seasoned with salt, and is one of the best cuts for raw dishes like beef tartare and beef carpaccio.

Cooking Method: Best seared quickly in a cast iron pan over high heat. Can be finished in the oven at 350°F. Don't forget to top it off with any one of our four special JPM kosher salts. 

Recommended Temperature: 125-130°F (52-54°C) for medium-rare.

Meticulous care in breeding and feeding ensures a consistently high-quality product that stands out in the global Wagyu market. What makes Australian Wagyu particularly unique is its range of marbling scores, catering to a wide spectrum of tastes and preferences, from the subtly marbled to the intensely rich. This adaptability, combined with the clean, natural environment of Australia, produces beef that is not only delicious but also contains a higher percentage of healthy fats compared to other breeds.

This marbling level signifies beef that is richly marbled, offering a juicy and tender eating experience without overwhelming the natural flavors of the beef itself. Such a balance is especially appreciated by those who desire the unique richness that comes with Wagyu but still want to savor the meat's flavor.

This moderation in fat distribution allows for a versatile cooking experience, suitable for a range of methods while ensuring the meat retains its character. It's a choice that appeals to both connoisseurs and those new to the Wagyu experience, offering a delectable introduction to the qualities that make Wagyu renowned worldwide.

Grass-Fed, Grain-Finished Beef

Not to be confused with 100% grass fed beef which tends to be much leaner and have more of an earthy flavor, our beef is grass-fed, grain-finished which offers a unique balance of flavor and tenderness, combining the best aspects of both feeding practices. These cattle are raised initially on pastures, where they graze on a natural grass diet. Towards the end of their lives, these cattle are transitioned to a grain-based diet, which enhances marbling — the intramuscular fat that makes beef juicier and more flavorful. This allows for a healthier cow, while still achieving the tenderness and delicious beef flavor that comes from a diet of grains.

This method not only improves the meat’s tenderness and palatability but also allows the beef to retain some of the health benefits of being grass-fed, such as higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants compared to conventionally raised beef. Consumers who choose grass-fed, grain-finished beef enjoy a product that strikes a desirable balance between health benefits and culinary appeal, making it a popular choice for those looking to enjoy high-quality, flavorful beef with enhanced nutritional properties.

Antibiotic and Hormone-Free Beef

All of our cows are raised free of any hormones or antibiotics. This practice ensures that the meat is as natural as possible, reducing consumer exposure to these substances. The absence of antibiotics in the raising of these animals helps prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a significant benefit for public health. Additionally, hormone-free meat often has better taste and quality. By choosing antibiotic and hormone-free meat, consumers support more natural animal husbandry practices and contribute to a healthier environment, while also enjoying safer and more flavorful meat.
