Filet mignon is the single most tender cut on the entire animal. It comes from the tenderloin, a muscle that does almost no work during the cow's life, which is why the texture is so remarkably soft. You can cut through it with barely any pressure.
This cut makes up only 2-3% of the animal, which is part of what makes it special and why it has always commanded a premium price. When you serve filet mignon, people notice.
Each piece weighs approximately 1.3 lbs, enough for two generous portions or one impressive steak dinner. The flavor is clean and mild, letting the quality of the beef speak for itself. Unlike fattier cuts, filet mignon does not need heavy seasoning or long marinades. Salt, pepper, and a hot pan are all it takes.
How to cook it: Bring the steak to room temperature (about 30 minutes out of the fridge). Heat a cast-iron skillet until it is smoking hot. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let it rest 5 minutes before slicing. That resting time lets the juices redistribute so every bite is as tender as the last.
This filet mignon is sourced under KJ kosher supervision and vacuum-sealed fresh for overnight delivery.
