Why the winner leads
Why G.McBean Family Butcher ranks #1 for scotch fillet
The scotch fillet at G. McBean Family Butcher in South Yarra delivers a deeply satisfying experience, with diners particularly appreciating its rich flavour and perfectly cooked medium-rare – several noted a substantial sear on the exterior. However, those seeking a very lean cut might want to inquire about the fat content beforehand, as some reviews suggest a preference for slightly more marbling would enhance the tenderness.
