About Filet Mignon

Filet mignon comes from the tenderloin, specifically the psoas major muscle, which does little work and makes it exceptionally tender. This boneless cut is lean with enough marbling to stay juicy and is typically cut into thick medallions.

USDA Prime filet mignon has more marbling, while Wagyu offers even higher fat distribution. Its small size and low connective tissue mean it cooks quickly. Filet mignon has a mild flavor compared to ribeye or New York strip steak, and is often served with butter or sauce to enhance richness.

Order Filet Mignon Online from Allen Brothers

Allen Brothers ages, hand-cuts, and vacuum-seals each filet mignon before shipping, which locks in flavor and extends shelf life so the steaks arrive in peak condition.

You can grill these steaks or cook them in a cast-iron pan, depending on your preference. The aging process has already broken down the muscle fibers, so you get that steakhouse texture without leaving your kitchen!
