Filet Mignon Steak

Filet Mignon Steaks are generally the most expensive cut of meat for one reason, their tenderness. Filet Mignon's are cut from the Tenderloin which is the least used muscle by a cow and thus the most tender. The Chateaubriand is a very decadent roast and basically is just one large Center Cut Filet Mignon. The Filet Mignon can also be found in the Porterhouse Steak and a smaller portion of the Filet is included in the T-bone Steak.

Another way the Filet Mignon can be prepared is by wrapping it with bacon. Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon Steak is most often the end cuts of a tenderloin. These Filets can contain up to three small pieces of the tenderloin which are then wrapped in bacon. Since these are end cut pieces, the Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignons are generally less expensive than the non-bacon Filets. However, there is really not a big difference in the quality from the center cut to the end cut of a tenderloin which makes the Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon's a great value in my opinion and one of the most popular steaks at Block & Cleaver where you can buy steak online.

One important thing to remember with anything bacon wrapped is to remove the tool used to hold the bacon in place after its cooked but prior to eating. Sometimes the bacon will be held in place by a toothpick or a metal skewer.
