Defrosting Instructions

For the best results, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

As these fillets are par-cooked, they simply need reheating thoroughly while developing a beautifully caramelised exterior.

Do not refreeze once thawed.

Best Cooking Methods

Springbok Fillets are best cooked on:

• Charcoal braai
• Barbecue
• Cast iron griddle
• Heavy frying pan

Season simply with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to allow the natural flavour of the meat to shine.

Cooking Guide

As these fillets are par-cooked, they require a shorter cooking time than raw meat.

Pan or Griddle

Cook over a medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until heated through.

Braai or Barbecue

Cook over medium-hot coals for approximately 2–3 minutes per side, turning once.

Ensure the centre is piping hot before serving.

Avoid prolonged cooking, as springbok is naturally lean and can become dry.

Resting

Allow the fillets to rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tips

• Pat the fillets dry before cooking to achieve the best caramelisation.
• Avoid overcooking to preserve their tenderness.
• Finish with a small knob of butter and fresh rosemary for extra richness.
• Slice across the grain before serving.

Serving Inspiration

Serve your Springbok Fillets with:

• Jimmy's Steakhouse Sauce
• Mrs H.S. Ball's Original Chutney
• Robertson's Braai & Grill Seasoning
• Chargrilled asparagus
• Creamy mashed potato or roasted baby potatoes

Wine Pairing

A South African Pinotage or Cabernet Sauvignon complements springbok beautifully, enhancing its delicate game flavour without overpowering it.

Braai Master's Tip 🇿🇦

Because these fillets are already par-cooked, your aim is to gently heat them through while creating a rich caramelised crust. Medium-hot coals will deliver the best balance of flavour and tenderness.
