Known for its tenderness, filet mignon is one of the most prized cuts of beef. It comes from the tenderloin, a small muscle that does very little work, which helps give it its signature texture.

Whether it’s grilled, pan-seared, or paired with your favorite sides, filet mignon is a delicious way to celebrate high-quality beef.
