August 13th
National Filet Mignon Day

Filet mignon is a tender, boneless cut of beef taken from the smaller end of the tenderloin, a muscle that runs along the spine of the cow. It is known for its delicate texture and mild flavor, and is often considered to be one of the most luxurious and sought-after cuts of beef. Filet mignon is typically prepared by grilling, broiling, or pan-searing, and is often served with a sauce or seasoning to enhance its flavor. Because it is a very lean cut of meat, it can also be wrapped in bacon or another fatty substance to add moisture and flavor. Due to its tenderness and high quality, filet mignon is often served at high-end restaurants and is a popular choice for special occasions or romantic dinners. However, it is also possible to purchase filet mignon at grocery stores or butcher shops and prepare it at home for a special meal.
