Loin
The loin primal supplies some of the most desirable steaks and is located below the backbone, between the rib and round sections. The sirloin is the portion toward the rear of the loin and is the source of top sirloin steaks and the picanha (coulotte). The front portion of the loin is known as the short loin and is home to the New York strip, Porterhouse, T-bone and filet mignon steaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is filet mignon steak so tender?
The filet mignon is sourced from the psoas major, a muscle that is not used frequently. A high level of activity makes a muscle tough, so the lack of exercise results in a high amount of tenderness.
What is the difference between USDA Choice and Prime beef?
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Choice and Prime, respectively.
Where does filet mignon come from?
Filet mignon, or tenderloin steak, is obtained from the loin primal located under the ribs and next to the spine. This is a muscle that receives minimal use, and the lack of physical activity makes the filet mignon a very tender steak. Looking for more tips? Our steak cooking guide has great tips on how to cook filet mignon.

This was a very bad
"This was a very bad first experience when I cut open the package all of the meat was gray but smelled ok so I went ahead and cooked it. It was the toughest steak I have ever had. I was offered a refund but simply wanted a replacement for this and another that had no vacuum seal. When i asked for replacements to be able to give them a second chance they said both were out of stock but showed available on the website. Will never buy anything from them again."
