Sometimes called ‘Undercut’, this is an excellent steak for the barbecue, grilling or pan frying. Some braising recipes also stipulate it. It’s the tail end of the eye fillet.

• Honey Steaks With Mustard
  
  This recipe for steak came with a jar of local honey and my first reaction was to ignore it. Honey with steak? Gimme a break! But it works, and what's more it works very well.
• Port Smoked Fillet Steak
  
  You need the whole fillet for this recipe, which is then port-smoked in a covered barbecue. So you will also need some smoking chips but don't use hickory on this occasion. Just about any other kind will do fine.
• Seared Fillet Steak
  
  One of my favorite ways of cooking fillet steak is to use one of those new-style double plate grills that work just like a toasted sandwich maker.
• Steak and Onions
  
  The original steak and onions recipe is English to the core and is a sort of casserole using whole pieces of meat. I first ate it at four in the morning in a pub in Smithfield Market, London, with a pint of Guinness and a bunch of actors from the Royal Shakespeare Company

  The original recipe for this dish called for the steak parcels to be deep fried in beef fat. That’s no longer practical or healthy so I’ve used olive oil.

  This is really fillet steak with herbed mustard, and is very simple. You could also use other cuts, such as rump and Porterhouse
