The lamb neck fillet is a single, lean muscle taken from the scrag, where the neck connects to the shouler. Unlike bone-in neck rings used for stews, our butchers expertly trim and debone this cut, leaving a compact, versatile fillet. Because the neck is a hardworking muscle, it develops a deeply “lamb-rich” flavour, more intense than the delicate loin or leg.
The fillet has fine threads of intramuscular fat that melt during cooking, keeping the meat moist and bringing a rich, savoury sweetness. Its darker colour reflects the muscle’s active nature, and the fine connective tissue allows it to shine with both quick and slow cooking methods.
For a fast, flavourful meal, slice into medallions or grill the whole fillet like a steak, cooking to medium-pink to keep it tender. For slow cooking, dice and braise gently in stock or sauce, allowing the connective tissue to break down into gelatine and create a velvety, luxurious finish.
