The Snake River Farms American Wagyu filet mignon has a distinctive buttery aroma and texture. This is the most naturally tender of all steak cuts and has a fine grain that makes it easy to cut with a fork. Sometimes the filet mignon is called the tenderloin steak since it is cut from the beef tenderloin. 

Filet mignon is known for its mild flavor and modest intramuscular fat; however, our American Wagyu filets contain a surprising amount of marbling which adds a higher level of richness. This steak is delicious seasoned with just salt and pepper but is excellent served with classic steak sauces like a tarragon scented Béarnaise or peppery au poivre. 

Available in 4 sizes. 2 x 4 oz. option has two steaks per package. The 6, 8, and 10 oz. portions have one steak per package.

Filet mignon is naturally tender and has a lower amount of marbling than steaks like ribeyes and New York strips. They are best prepared medium rare to medium. 

The steakhouse method and reverse searing are excellent cooking methods to use for the filet mignon. Since it is lower in fat, filet mignons cook quickly, so keep a watchful eye to avoid overcooking.  

A final basting with butter and herbs is a good way to add additional richness to the filet mignon.  

This mild flavored steak works well with compound butters and classic sauces like Béarnaise and au poivre.

FAQ

Everything you need to know before your first bite.

Find answers to our customers' most commonly asked questions.

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.

How to cook filet mignon

For 1.5” steaks, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a light coat of vegetable oil to the skillet. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Place steaks in hot skillet and sear for 4 minutes, turning once. If a steak sticks to the skillet, it’s not ready to turn. Wait until it releases on its own. Place skillet in a 350°F degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes depending on desired doneness. Turn once halfway through the cooking time. Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Keep a good quality thermometer on hand. Remove from oven when preferred internal temperature is reached. Remove steaks from skillet and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. The steaks will continue to cook and the temperature will rise about 5°F. Learn how to cook any steak perfectly.

Best oil for searing steak

For best results, use an oil with a high smoke point. Smoke point is the temperature when an oil or fat starts to burn. Oils with a high smoke point include avocado, canola, grapeseed, soybean and safflower. Refined versions of most oils have a flavor that is neutral. Other non-vegetable oils like clarified butter and beef tallow have high smoke points but add flavor to the steak. 

Does the filet mignon have a lot of marbling?

In general, filet mignon has very little intramuscular fat. American Wagyu filets have a higher amount than USDA Prime filets. 

Where is the filet mignon located?

The filet mignon comes from the tenderloin which is part of the loin primal located under the ribs and next to the spine.

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.

Reviews

Very tender and flavorful. I

"Very tender and flavorful. I reverse seared them with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then finished in a non-stick pan with butter and Herbes De Provence. Served with some garlic green beans and potatoes for a wonderful Sunday night dinner. It would be good on any night since everything is cooked in under an hour."

Perfect as always!

"Perfect as always!"

FRANK C. (5/5)

These are awesome to reverse

"These are awesome to reverse sear. Smoke at 190F to an internal temp of 125F. Pull and increase the out temp to as hot as you can get. Use the flat side of grill grates or a cast iron griddle. Drizzle steaks with avocado oil and sear for 20 seconds. Flip. Another 20s. Flip and repeat. Pull and let stand for 5 min. Totally awesome."

We have been getting steaks

"We have been getting steaks from David Burke Prime to cook for our anniversary for years. We decided to order directly from the source this time and it was even better than we expected. We were able to finally try Wagyu and it was fantastic. It was buttery and rich right out of the pan without having to add anything extra. We will definitely be ordering again."
