Filet Mignon is overrated AF, CMV
Zero flavor whatsoever compared to other cuts and not worth the price

Gotta eat the fat.

If it's fat, it will go down without much chew. If it's gristle then it might get secreted to a napkin.

Every cut has its place. I too prefer something with more fat but I love a good filet as well.
Perfect to be paired with a nice Merlot or Mencia.

this right here. when i'm done with a filet the plate is empty.
I love a good ribeye but, there's always leftover fat and misc pieces

NY Strip is where it’s at.

So you went somewhere that tried to pass off a different cut of beef as a filet mignon?
Posted on 5/4/22 at 9:18 am to Palmetto98
Top sirloin or tenderloin > filet

He's comparing its beefy flavor vs other cuts and he's correct. Cooking it properly doesn't improve that compared to another properly cooked cut.

Congratulations sir. You have won the worst opinion on the OT today. Please see Chicken for your prize.

Yes it does, it offers a texture that no other can can compete with. Charring the outside in the grill marks offers plenty of beef flavor.

New York Strip then Ribeye.

When I'm in low-carb mode, I eat the shite out of it

But a filet can definitely be done right, although I’d go with a tenderloin at that point
This man doesn’t know steak

Filet mignon, done right, is the meal I’d have every day if given the choice.
Crazy Johnny’s in Fat City used to have a Filet plate for some insane price like 10.99, with garlic mashed potatoes, that was killer.

For one learn how to select and cook one.. Find a good prime or Waygu filet one that has marbling to it.. Salt brine at a min of and hour before cook.. Dear the shite out of eat shite the slow cook while basting in a butter, garlic and rosemary combo to 120ish internal.. Pull, wrap in foil for 10 minutes then eat
Posted on 5/4/22 at 9:22 am to Gaston
Of course it's tender but the flavor compared to an equal in quality cut, cooked in the same manner doesn't compare. That's all he's talking about.
