August 13 Filet Mignon Day

Filet Mignon Day is observed annually on August 13. In French, filet mignon may be called “filet de boeuf”, which translates to beef fillet in English.
Due to the low levels of fat found in the fillets, bacon is often used in cooking. The bacon is wrapped around the fillet and pinned closed with a wooden toothpick. Flavor is added from the bacon and this process keeps the fillet from drying out during the cooking process.
Filet mignon is French for “cute fillet” or “dainty fillet”.

The tenderloin from which the filet mignon comes, is the tenders cut of beef and is also considered the most desirable and therefore the most expensive.
Enjoy a nice evening with a delicious filet mignon meal together with friends and family.
