14th Dec 2025

Master the art of cooking premium Wagyu.
With exceptional marbling and unmatched flavour, Wagyu Eye Fillet deserves careful preparation — and with this simple guide, you’ll achieve a flawless result every time.

Whether you're using a Weber BBQ or your go-to kitchen cookware, these steps ensure your fillet medallions stay tender, juicy, and beautifully seared.

Before You Begin

  • Bring your 250 gm Wagyu Eye Fillet to room temperature
  • Have olive oil spray, sea salt flakes, and a knob of butter ready
  • Preheat your BBQ or pan to 220°C

 

How to Cook the Perfect Fillet Medallions

  1. Prep the Grill & Fillet
    Spray the preheated grill with olive oil. Lightly coat your Eye Fillet medallions in olive oil and season generously with sea salt flakes.
  2. Build the Sear
    Place the fillet on the grill, salted side down.
    Spray the top with olive oil, season again, and sear just long enough to develop a solid crust.
     Rotate and repeat until all surfaces have an even, golden sear.
     At this stage, you are only searing — not cooking through.
  3. Add Butter & Bake
    When you are happy with the sear close the lid and cook for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes flip the medallion, add a knob butter and cook for another 3 minutes.
  4. Check for Doneness
    When gently pressed, the medallions should feel firm but not rubbery, with clear juices beginning to appear.
  5. Rest & Enjoy
    Rest the Eye Fillet medallions for 2 minutes before slicing.
    Serve immediately — and enjoy Wagyu at its finest.
