Filet Mignon - Thick Cut - Pack of 2

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:

• 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.
