About Filet
Filet, often referred to as filet mignon when cut from beef tenderloin, is a premium cut of meat known for its tenderness and rich flavor. Originating from French cuisine, its name translates to "dainty fillet," reflecting its delicate texture and lean profile. A filet is high in protein and contains essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which support energy production and immune health. Compared to fattier cuts, it has less marbling, making it a lower-fat choice while still delivering satisfying flavor. However, its leanness may mean fewer omega-3 fatty acids compared to other cuts. Often featured in gourmet recipes, the filet is versatile and can be grilled, pan-seared, or broiled to perfection. While it’s a nutrient-rich protein source, preparation methods like heavy sauces or butter add calories, so balance is key for optimal health benefits.
