Our SRF Gold Label™ filet mignon is available as a petite 4 oz. cut. Like the larger sizes, this is the ultimate filet mignon. SRF Gold Label™ steaks represent the highest level of marbling offered by Snake River Farms.
Our SRF Gold Label™ tenderloin steak is the ultimate American Wagyu steak. SRF Gold Label™ steaks represent the highest level of marbling offered by Snake River Farms. These petite filets are just 4 ounces each for a scaled down portion size that cooks quickly. Perfect for smaller appetites or when you want to serve additional center-of-the-plate items. Like all our Snake River Farms filets, these are hand-cut, hand-trimmed and perfectly portioned.
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Prime and Choice. Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features an abundant amount of marbling.
Snake River Farms produces beef that measures above the USDA scores. To grade these higher levels of marbling and quality, we utilize the 12-point BMS (Beef Marbling Score or Beef Marbling Standard) from the Japanese Meat Grading Association (JMGA). SRF Black Label ™ and SRF Gold Label ™ both score above USDA Prime.
SRF Black Label ™ is rated a BMS of 6 to 8 with significantly more marbling than USDA Prime graded beef.
SRF Gold Label™ registers a BMS of 9 to 12 and contains the highest level of marbling we offer.
Filet mignon is naturally tender and has a lower amount of marbling than steaks like ribeyes and New York strips. They are best prepared medium rare to medium.
Be sure to completely thaw your filet mignon before cooking.
Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Keep a good quality thermometer on hand.
Rest your steak at least 10 minutes before serving to let the internal temperature equalize and allow the juices to be reabsorbed.
Slice steak against the grain – 90° to the direction of the muscle fibers. This makes for a more tender bite.
Finish your steak with a light sprinkle of flaky salt for a nice presentation and an appetizing salty crunch.
Filet mignon, or tenderloin steak, is obtained from the loin primal located under the ribs and next to the spine. Filets mignons are sourced from thepsoas major, a muscle that receives minimal use. Exercise makes a muscle tough, so the lack of physical activity makes the filet mignon a very tender steak.
This muscle has minimal marbling so it does not have the flavorful fat found in ribeyes or New York strips. Our American Wagyu tenderloin has a higher amount of marbling than USDA Prime grade tenderloin which makes for a more flavorful filet mignon.
The correct spelling for multiple steaks is filets mignons.

What Is SRF Black Label and SRF Gold Label?
All SRF products are American Wagyu. We use the Japanese Beef Marbling Score (or BMS) to measure the marbling present in the beef. Both SRF Black Label and SRF Gold Label grade above USDA Prime. The SRF Black Label grades between a BMS 6 to 8, and the Gold Label is the highest marbled with a BMS score at 9+. Read about the difference.
How Long Will My SRF Products Last and How Should I Store Them?
For optimal quality, you can store your SRF products in the freezer for up to 6 months. Per USDA guidelines, if meat is kept at 40 °F or below, you can safely store thawed meat in the refrigerator for 7 days in its original cryovac seal. More details.
