Filet Mignon

The Ultimate Elegance: Our Grain-Finished Filet Mignon

The Filet Mignon is the undisputed crown jewel of the steak world. Carved from the center of the tenderloin, this 1.5-2 inch thick cut is reserved for those moments that demand the very best. It is the leanest, most delicate muscle on the animal, offering a texture so supple it can practically be cut with a butter knife.

Satisfaction in Every Bite

While the Filet is naturally lean, our grain-finishing process adds a subtle, creamy marbling that you won't find in 100% grass-fed tenderloins. This ensures that while the steak remains incredibly lean, it stays juicy and develops a refined, buttery sweetness -- aka the Plum Creek Acres way.

• Unrivaled Tenderness: Because the tenderloin is a non-weight-bearing muscle, it never develops the toughness found in other cuts. It is pure, velvety protein.

• Refined Flavor Profile: Unlike the "beefyness" of a Ribeye, the Filet offers a clean, elegant beef flavor. It’s the perfect canvas for high-end finishes like truffle butter, red wine reductions, or a simple dusting of flakey sea salt.

• The "Melt-in-Your-Mouth" Factor: Our pasture-raised lifestyle ensures the meat is healthy and dense, while the grain finish provides the essential intramuscular fat needed for that signature "melt."

Cooking the Perfect Filet

Because the Filet Mignon has very little connective tissue, it is best enjoyed Rare to Medium-Rare. Its thick, compact shape makes it the ideal candidate for the "reverse sear" method or a quick, high-heat sear in a cast-iron skillet followed by a luxurious butter baste.

The Experience: This is the steak of celebrations. It’s the quiet anniversary dinner, the milestone toast, and the ultimate gift for the person who appreciates the finer things. It’s not just a meal; it’s an indulgence.
