Frequently Asked Questions
Why is filet mignon so tender?
Filet mignon comes from the tenderloin muscle, which does very little work during the animal's life. This lack of exercise keeps the muscle fibers soft and tender.
Is filet mignon lean or fatty?
Filet mignon is relatively lean compared to other premium cuts like ribeye. It has less marbling but compensates with exceptional tenderness and clean beef flavor.
