Rastelli's 8 oz. USDA Prime Wet-Aged Center Cut Filet Mignon - 20/Case

Details

When your customers expect the very best, deliver a steak that's a cut above the rest with this Rastelli's 8 oz. USDA prime center cut filet mignon! This steak is cut from the very tip of the tenderloin; because this muscle bears no weight, it never develops any dense connective tissue, making filet mignon the most tender cut of beef. This tenderness, coupled with its especially mild flavor, has made filet mignon arguably the most prized and valuable steak on the market. Thanks to Rastelli's meticulous butchery standards, this filet mignon is expertly hand-trimmed for a uniform end result with none of the fat and gristle left behind by grocery store cuts. When cooked to medium-rare perfection and served alongside tender, fresh vegetables or garlicky mashed potatoes, this fork-tender, melt-in-your-mouth steak makes a truly show-stopping addition to your menu!

This filet mignon is wet aged for 21 to 28 days to ensure rich flavor and a tender texture that make it easy to prepare. Thanks to a lack of dense connective tissue in this cut, filet mignon is perfect for fast cooking methods like grilling or searing. However, avoid wasting time and money by overcooking this valuable and delicious piece of meat! Filet mignon is often served rare or medium rare to enhance the flavor and juicy texture of the meat. One fail-safe method for cooking this dainty steak is to begin by searing it in a cast iron pan for 5 minutes on both sides to brown the outside, then transfer the pan to a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven to ensure that the meat is evenly cooked through. You can also try cooking the steak sous vide in an immersion bath, then searing the outside just before you serve to achieve perfection every time. Ensure that you allow the steak to rest after cooking, then slice it against the grain for maximum tenderness!
