Filet mignon, often referred to as the "king of steaks," is a premium cut of beef derived from the smaller end of the tenderloin. Prized for its tenderness and mild flavor, this steak is a staple in French cuisine and popular worldwide in fine dining. Leaner than many other cuts, filet mignon contains high-quality protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as iron and zinc. Its low fat content makes it a healthier choice compared to fattier cuts, though it still contains saturated fat that should be consumed in moderation. The meat is naturally free of carbs and sugars, aligning with low-carb and keto diets. Typically prepared by grilling, broiling, or pan-searing, filet mignon's rich texture ensures indulgence without overwhelming calorie counts. A balanced serving paired with vegetables can make it a nutritious option for a protein-focused meal.
