Filet Mignon, or Tenderloin, is a thin slice of beef which is exceptionally tender. The French term comes from the word 'mignon', which means "cute" or "dainty".

This piece of meat has low fat content, so the traditional method in grilling and barbequeue would be to wrap it in bacon (providing additional juices and fat) and then apply high heat on either side for a short while, and then putting it on low heat (or on a lower heat side of the barbqueue/grill) until it's done - it should still be pink in the middle for it to be medium rare.

If you prefer it well-done, it can also be 'butterflied', meaning it's cut into in the middle and folded open, exposing more of its surface to heat and allowing it to bake through.

There are many different recipes on how to prepare a full meal, including different kinds of sauces and vegetables that go well with a filet mignon - be sure to check around for one you like!
