Scotch Fillet

Scotch fillet is the Australian and New Zealand name for boneless ribeye—the same marbled eye (and often cap) sold as ribeye or entrecôte elsewhere. It is not Scotch as in Scotland; the name is regional trade language for a high-value grilling steak. Expect juiciness from intramuscular fat and a richer taste than eye fillet (tenderloin). It is prized at Australasian barbecues and steakhouses as the default premium steak. Cook hot and fast or reverse-sear thick pieces; rest before slicing. Grade and marbling score matter visibly on the cut surface.
