Grass-Fed Beef from the Southern Ranges
Located in the cool, temperate region of Victoria, the Southern Ranges is renowned for producing some of Australia’s finest pasture-raised beef.
The cattle here graze freely on natural grasslands, breathe clean mountain air and are raised without the use of added hormones or antibiotics. This slow, natural approach to rearing not only supports animal welfare but also enhances the flavour and structure of the meat.
Southern Ranges beef is graded under the strict MSA system, ensuring it meets the highest standards of tenderness, juiciness and eating quality. The result is clean, ethically raised beef with a naturally lean profile and just the right amount of marbling.
About the Cut – Pure Tenderness
The eye fillet, also known as the tenderloin, is one of the most sought-after cuts in the world. It’s taken from the short loin, a muscle that does very little work, making it naturally fine-grained, low in fat and melt-in-the-mouth soft.
This centre-cut tenderloin has been expertly hand-trimmed, with the chain and excess fat removed, giving you a clean, uniform piece that’s ready to be portioned or roasted whole. It’s an ideal cut for elegant plating, celebratory dinners or when you simply want to enjoy beef at its most tender.
Despite its leanness, the MB2+ marbling ensures it doesn’t dry out during cooking, and brings a buttery finish to every bite.
Cooking Recommendations
Eye fillet is a versatile cut that responds beautifully to high-heat searing or slow, gentle roasting. Here are some of the best ways to bring out its full potential:
-
Whole Roast: Bring to room temperature, tie with butcher’s twine, and season generously with salt, pepper and herbs. Roast at 160°C until internal temp reaches 52–54°C. Rest well before slicing into medallions.
-
Fillet Steaks: Portion into 180–220 g steaks. Sear in a hot pan with olive oil and butter until golden on both sides. Finish in the oven if needed and rest for 5–7 minutes.
-
Sous Vide: Cook at 54.5°C for 1–2 hours, then sear quickly in a hot pan for a perfect edge-to-edge medium-rare.
Tip: Eye fillet benefits from simplicity; avoid heavy marinades. A good sear, fresh herbs, and a quality finishing salt will elevate its natural flavour beautifully.
Packaging & Storage
