Beef Fillet

Hi all. In an effort to take the pressure off turkeys this Christmas I have managed to source a beautiful whole beef fillet. It is currently frozen and is probably twice the size it needs to be in order to serve its intended audience on Christmas Day.
So my dilemmas are:

1. Should I invest in a butcher’s saw and cut it whilst frozen?
2. Defrost it, then cut it and refrigerate the remainder? 
3. If I choose option 2, will this pressurise us into eating steak again within the next couple of weeks, or can I allow it to ‘mature’? I cannot get my head around the difference between a steak that has gone off, and one that has matured!

Thank you 🎅
