Filet Mignon, the most tender piece of meat on the cow, comes from the aptly named Tenderloin, a long thin strip that bisects two primals – the Sirloin and the Shortloin. Filets are cut from the smaller (forward) end of the tenderloin, where the meat is at its most tender – and most prized. On average, a full Black Angus cattle only yields about one pound of filet mignon, making it a particularly coveted cut.
In the American heartland, our Black Angus cattle are pastured in large open fields and fed a 100% vegetarian diet. They’re grain-finished on high-moisture corn for 120 days, creating fantastic marbling and tender, flavorful beef. Like all of our products, it’s antibiotic, steroid, and hormone-free. Our cattle are certified by the USDA as raised and fed through operations that provide a low-stress environment, with facilities designed by world-renowned animal care experts, and prioritize delivering access to fresh, clean water, adequate shade and shelter.
