Buttery textured. Unbelievably juicy. Mildly flavored. Exquisitely marbled. Expertly trimmed. You know that we can only be talking about one thing–the gold standard of steaks–the filet mignon. Cut from the middle of the tenderloin for maximum tenderness, there is no more luscious bite of food on the planet (unless you’re one of those people who likes it well done).
