Today is National Filet Mignon Day, so let’s have a steak… more specifically, a grass-fed filet mignon.

This is a new addition to our website, and an uncommon thing. These barrel-cut steaks are from the thick end of the tenderloin, and offer superb texture and flavor.

With all the health benefits of grass-fed beef and all the tenderness usually associated with grain-finished beef, this filet mignon offers the best of both worlds. It is the holy grail of steak.

Make something special with your filet mignon; try our Tournedos Rossini recipe. This classic preparation combines filet mignon, seared foie gras slices and black truffles, and is named for the composer Rossini, who was a major foodie before we used the term.
