Filet Mignon

无论您是奖励还是完全认为它是完全夸张的，Filet Mignon都会让您在一家高端餐厅想象昂贵的烛光晚餐（如果是陈词滥调，请点Valentine's Day). But there's a reason this cut of beef comes with a hefty price tag: it cooks up incredibly tender and comes in limited supply. Unlike muscley brisket, filet mignon comes from the tail end of the much smaller tenderloin. You won't have to do much (and shouldn't) to a filet mignon to get an almost buttery piece of meat. It's lean without a ton of beefy flavor, so it's often served with sauce or wrapped in bacon to keep it from drying out.
