Description
A Filet Mignon is a tender, lean cut from the beef tenderloin with a mild flavor and buttery texture. It’s prized for its tenderness and is best cooked by grilling, pan-searing, or broiling.
Where They Come From:
The filet mignon is cut from the tenderloin, a small, cylindrical muscle located within the short loin of the beef.
This muscle is known for its minimal use, resulting in its exceptional tenderness.
It is located in the middle back section of the cow.

How to Cook Them:
Gentle Pan-Searing: A quick sear in a hot pan with butter and herbs creates a flavorful crust while maintaining the interior's tenderness.
Oven-Finishing: Finishing in a moderate oven ensures even cooking and perfect doneness.
Grilling (with care): Grilling requires careful attention to avoid overcooking, as the lean nature can lead to dryness.
Reverse searing: slow cooking to the desired internal temp, then searing, is a great method for thick cuts
Avoid overcooking: This cut is best served rare to medium rare.
