With its delicate fork-tender texture and elegant mild flavor, Omaha Steaks Filet Mignon is a truly unique steak that begs to be savored.<\/p>\n

The People’s Steak<\/h3>\n

You know the term\u00a0Filet Mignon<\/a>\u00a0if you know steak. And if you don’t? You know it anyway. That’s because, since author O. Henry used this French term to describe a celebratory tenderloin steak in his 1906 novel\u00a0The Four Million,<\/i>\u00a0it’s become the go-to steak for anyone seeking a magnificent dining experience.<\/p>\n

Why So Tender?<\/h3>\n

Filet Mignon is extremely tender. Indeed, the Filet ranks highest in tenderness on Omaha Steaks signature tenderness and flavor scale. The secret to this steak’s distinctive texture lay in its origins \u2014 the tenderloin. Due to its location on the animal, the tenderloin remains relatively unused before being processed as beef. Inactivity keeps the muscle from growing too tough through repetitive movement.<\/p>\n

You Can’t Go Wrong<\/h3>\n

Possibilities are endless when it comes to the Filet, and that’s one of the many reasons we love it. Filet Mignon’s mild flavor and extreme tenderness make it an ideal companion for rich toppings. Wine-based sauces, blue cheese butters, and mushroom saute\u00e9<\/span>s are all surefire ways to make your Filet Mignon an extra-special treat.<\/p>\n
