Ordered a 1KG Fillet of Beef at the end of the October to freeze and make a Wellington on Christmas day. Defrosted it on Christmas Eve to prepare the Wellington only to find the whole thing was run through fat. Tried to cut a lot of it away and ended up removing/disposing of a lot of fat. Ended up with two pieces of meat instead of the one we wanted to use to make the Wellington. Upon cooking, it was very chewy and very fatty, not lean and tender (like a fillet is supposed to be). That being said, I am not wholly convinced the piece of meat was all fillet or tenderloin, and I think it might have been a bit of fillet with a lot of sirloin or short loin attached. All in all, this was the worst piece of fillet I have ever purchased - and it ruined Christmas dinner. Hugely disappointed – will not be ordering from here again.
