filet mignons

Filet mignons is the plural of filet mignon, a thick cut of beef from the tenderloin prized for its exceptional tenderness and mild flavor.

The French term means "dainty fillet" or "cute fillet," and the cut is typically served as individual steaks, often wrapped in bacon and cooked quickly at high heat.

We ordered filet mignons for the whole table.

Because tenderloin yields relatively few steaks, filet mignons command premium prices at restaurants and butcher shops.
