Fresh Tasting Filet Mignon by Flash Freezing
Flash freezing, meaning your filet mignon steaks are frozen in seconds, guarantees the freshness and texture of the filet mignon you buy online at DineWise.com. When you freeze a supermarket steak in your own freezer, the water in the steak crystallizes like a snowflake. This tears the fibers of the meat and explains why you have so much fluid in the package when you defrost it. Our Flash Freezing process keeps the water molecules whole and your filet mignon as fresh as the day it was hand trimmed.
What is Filet Mignon?
Filet mignon, which is French for "dainty fillet," is a beef steak cut from the tenderloin of a steer or heifer. The tenderloin runs along either side of the spine, and is usually harvested as a long and slender cut of beef. The thicker side of the filet mignon tenderloin is also known as a Chateubriand Roast. When the tenderloin is cut into portions before cooking, that portion is known as a filet mignon. Steaks cuts from the smaller end of the beef tenderloin often become Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon.
The filet mignon is generally considered the most tender cut of beef because this section of the animal gets very little exercise, making the meat very tender. Known as the "Queen of Steaks", Filet Mignon is generally a popular steak choice with women. It's tenderness makes it easy to cut with a butter knife, and maybe even a fork, making it a perfect entertaining selection.
Did you know?
The Filet in Filet Mignon is spelled with one L. Technically, Fillet Mignon is incorrect. Fillet, spelled with two L's is referred to seafood cuts such as Salmon Fillets.
