Sometimes the biggest steak in the kitchen is not what you’re after. On those occasions when “less is more” our Double R Ranch petite filet mignon is the ideal solution. These are some of the best steaks online and have a mouthwatering flavor and buttery texture, but come in a petite 4 ounce portion. Each steak is cut by hand and trimmed for a consistent portion size. The package contains 2, 4 oz filets. Buy these steaks online for dinner to your doorstep.
"...Hands down, Double R Ranch is the best beef in the country." ~ Eric Hellner, Executive Chef, The Metropolitan Grill, Seattle, WA
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.
USDA Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features a moderately abundant amount of marbling. Only 5 to 6% of all U.S. beef grades at this high level.
USDA Choice falls directly below USDA Prime. Choice beef is high quality and has less marbling but offers an excellent value.
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. The 4 oz. petite filet mignon will quick quickly, so keep a close eye on the cook.
Be sure to completely thaw your filet mignon.
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 the psoas 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.
The correct spelling for multiple steaks is filets mignons.
