Fake fillet from the Black Forest
The mock fillet is a very exciting roast cut . Even our grandmothers loved it for making sauerbraten . Because of the tendon in the middle, it requires careful preparation to create an excellent roast. The mock fillet shares only its shape with its namesake, the "beef fillet." Unlike the fillet, the mock fillet is a heavily used muscle from the shoulder .
What is fake fillet?
The false tenderloin, also known as the rump loin or rump fillet , is a cut of the beef shoulder. It's a highly stressed muscle, traversed by a strong tendon, and therefore not suitable for pan-frying. However, it is excellent for braising, for example, as a traditional sauerbraten.
Raising our cattle
All of our beef comes from our own herd and those of our partners, all of which are located near our butcher shop in the Black Forest . Our cattle are raised exclusively on our own farm's feed .
Our principle is: If the animal is well, so are the people. Short transport routes (max. 50 km) protect the livestock and the environment, and stress-free slaughter on our farm ensures the quality of the meat.

Fake fillet – perfect for sauerbraten
The false tenderloin is ideal for sauerbraten. The marinating and gentle cooking process makes the tendon tender and gelatinous. This recipe serves up to 7 people.
