🥩 Stone Axe Full Blood Wagyu Eye Fillet MB8–9+: Australia’s Most Luxurious Beef Experience

Indulge in the ultimate expression of beef perfection with Stone Axe Full Blood Wagyu Eye Fillet, boasting an exceptional marble score of 8–9+. Sourced from Australia’s renowned Stone Axe Wagyu program, this cut represents the pinnacle of Wagyu genetics, meticulous animal husbandry, and world-class marbling. Each tenderloin comes from 100% Fullblood Japanese Black Wagyu cattle, carefully raised in the cool, pristine high-altitude regions of New South Wales and Victoria. The result is an extraordinary dining experience that delivers melt-in-your-mouth texture, rich buttery flavour, and a delicate, clean beef finish that sets Stone Axe Wagyu apart.

🌿 100% Fullblood Wagyu Heritage: Authenticity You Can Taste

Stone Axe Wagyu is internationally recognised for maintaining a closed herd of purebred Japanese Black Wagyu genetics, meaning no crossbreeding with other breeds — only authentic Fullblood Wagyu. This genetic purity is key to producing the ultra-fine intramuscular marbling and unmatched tenderness found in this eye fillet. The cattle are raised in low-stress, free-roaming conditions across high-altitude Australian farms, where cool climates and natural pastures encourage slow, even fat deposition and stress-free weight gain. This environment mirrors the traditional Wagyu regions of Japan, producing beef that rivals the highest grades of Japanese A5 Wagyu.

🛡️ MB8–9+ Marbling: A Benchmark for Luxury Beef

With a marbling score of 8–9+, the Stone Axe Eye Fillet ranks among the highest quality Wagyu produced outside Japan. Marbling, or intramuscular fat, is the hallmark of Wagyu’s signature buttery texture. At this level of marbling, the beef displays an intricate lace of creamy white fat woven throughout the muscle fibres, which renders gently during cooking to create an exceptionally juicy, tender bite and rich mouthfeel. This high marbling also contributes to the beef’s complex, nutty, and slightly sweet flavour profile, offering a luxurious culinary experience.

🌱 Hormone-Free, Ethical Farming & Sustainable Practices

Stone Axe Wagyu cattle are raised without the use of hormone growth promotants (HGPs) or routine antibiotics, aligning with modern consumer expectations for clean, natural meat. Every animal is fed a carefully crafted, slow-energy diet — often including high-quality hay, silage, and supplemental grains — supporting consistent fat development without compromising health or well-being. Ethical farming practices at Stone Axe’s farms prioritise animal welfare, low-stress handling, and environmental stewardship, ensuring both the cattle and the land are treated with respect.

🧬 Full Traceability & Uncompromising Quality Control

Stone Axe Wagyu implements strict whole-of-life traceability, with each animal individually identified to track lineage, health records, and feeding regimes. This transparency guarantees authenticity and consistent quality, so customers can trust they are receiving true Fullblood Wagyu. Additionally, Stone Axe Wagyu’s facilities adhere to world-class food safety and quality management standards, ensuring every eye fillet meets rigorous expectations for texture, appearance, and eating quality.

🍽️ The Eye Fillet: Wagyu’s Most Tender Cut

The eye fillet, also known as the tenderloin, is sourced from a muscle along the cattle’s spine that does minimal work, resulting in a supremely tender cut. In Fullblood Wagyu, this already-tender muscle becomes something extraordinary — delicate, silky, and incredibly succulent, with marbling that melts instantly upon cooking. The Stone Axe Eye Fillet MB8–9+ is ideal for those who want the ultimate in tenderness paired with the luxurious richness of top-grade Wagyu fat.

🔥 Perfect for Grilling, Searing, or Sous-Vide

Stone Axe Full Blood Wagyu Eye Fillet is a versatile centrepiece perfect for a variety of high-end cooking techniques:

• Pan-Seared or Grilled: Quickly sear over high heat to achieve a golden crust while preserving a tender, pink interior. Minimal seasoning with sea salt and black pepper highlights the beef’s natural flavour.

• Sous-Vide: Cook to precise temperature for unparalleled control, then finish with a hot sear for the perfect combination of tenderness and caramelised crust.

• Roasting Whole: The whole eye fillet makes a show-stopping roast for special occasions — crusted with herbs, garlic, or simple salt to let the marbling do the talking.

For best results, cook to medium-rare (54–56°C internal temperature) and rest the meat for 5–10 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, maximising tenderness and flavour.

💪 Nutritional Highlights

Despite its richness, Wagyu offers unique nutritional benefits compared to conventional beef:

• Higher levels of monounsaturated fats, linked to improved heart health and lower LDL cholesterol.

• Elevated concentrations of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), associated with anti-inflammatory properties and metabolic support.

• Packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including B12, iron, niacin, zinc, and selenium, all crucial for energy metabolism and immune function.

• A healthy balance of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, with Wagyu often displaying a more favourable ratio than typical beef.

🧊 Packaging & Storage

Stone Axe Eye Fillet MB8–9+ is expertly portioned and vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and integrity. When stored unopened in the refrigerator, the beef remains fresh for up to 4 weeks, while freezing at or below -18°C maintains quality for up to 12 months. For the best culinary results, thaw frozen Wagyu slowly in the fridge over 24–48 hours.
