- Filet mignon is French for "cute fillet" or "dainty fillet"
- Filet de boeuf, in French, can be described as filet de boeuf, which translates to beef fillet in French
- Filet mignon may also be found on a French menu, rather than beef
Since the filet mignon comes from the most tender portion of the tenderloin, it's one of the most prized cuts of beef. Consequently, this steak is expected to be the most expensive.
Filet mignon is often cut into 1 inch to 2 inch thick strips, grilled, and then served as is. Filet mignon is already cut into bacon-wrapped portions when discovered in grocery stores, and is now cut into bacon-wrapped portions. Cooking the filet mignon is the most common method for preparing the filet mignon, whether grilling, pan-frying, broiling, or roasting. Restaurants may also make the fillets served in a cognac cream sauce, au Poivre with peppercorns, or in a red wine reduction.
Bacon is often used in cooking due to the low amounts of fat found in the fillets. With a wooden toothpick, the bacon is wrapped around the fillet and tied shut. The bacon adds flavor, and this method prevents the fillet from drying out during the cooking process.
