Filet Mignon is the American term for the steak cut from the thin end of the tapered tenderloin muscle of beef. There is approximately 2-3 pounds of this cut on each side of the carcass, so approx 5 pounds in total.
The thicker end of the muscle is easier to make look presentable on the plate and is usually cut into steaks about 1 inch thick and is best cooked 'rare' and left to rest for about 5 minutes before plating up.
The words 'Filet Mignon' come from the French language and translate to 'cute fillet' in English but in France a Filet Mignon on a menu would actually be pork, not beef.
