Filet mignon, a French term meaning "tender filet," is a premium cut of beef sourced from the tenderloin, renowned for its buttery texture and mild flavor. Popular in French and American cuisines, this steak is a culinary favorite for its tenderness and versatility. Rich in high-quality protein, filet mignon provides essential amino acids needed for muscle repair and overall health. It is also an excellent source of iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which support energy metabolism and immune function. However, due to its moderate fat content, especially if prepared with butter or rich sauces, it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Often grilled, pan-seared, or oven-roasted, filet mignon pairs well with fresh vegetables, whole grains, and lighter accompaniments to balance its richness and enhance its nutritional profile.
