For a nice fillet steak, I let it go brown first, (about 2 weeks after best before date!) then leave it to come to room temperature, sprinkle a bit of sea salt & crushed pepper and cook 1min high on both sides 3 min low each side. (rare).

You won't find a more tender piece of meat anywhere!

p.s. sometimes you'll find tesco selling off prepack fillet / sirloin for 1/2 price because its on the BB date. - With good red meat, this is when its only starting to be good.

I like rare, however I did get a rare steak in Kilkenny one day and it was very chewy. It was probably more of a comment on the meat as opposed to the cooking of it but it put me off.

Medium, with a melt of garlic butter.

the only reason they have that BB date is because they dont think mature meat is a sellable!
crazy really, remember having some damn good meat when i worked on the deli, all for free as it was going in the bin, also got some lovely lunches for like 50c cos i just bought a can of coke and got 2 packs of "out of date" rustlers that were perfect. just stay away from the packs that are bout to explode!

If it's a good cut then I'd go for blood rare (blue)

I don't think I could handle blue. Rare is about as far as I'd go.
