Angus Filet Mignon
Angus Filet Mignon is the definition of melt-in-your-mouth tenderness—delicately beefy, ultra-fine grained, and elegant on any plate. Hand-trimmed from the tenderloin, these steaks take a fierce sear and finish rosy from edge to edge. We ship every steak frozen at peak quality so you can go from freezer to flame with confidence. Eat Wild.

How to Thaw (Refrigerator Only)
- Keep sealed; place on a rimmed tray to catch drips.
- Allow ~24 hours per 1"-thick steak in the fridge (34–40°F).
- After thawing, temper 20–30 minutes at room temp for even cooking. For exact guidance, use our Storage & Thaw Calculator.
How to Cook (4 Proven Methods)
Target doneness: filet shines at medium-rare (130–135°F). See our Steak Temperature Guide and time precisely with the Steak Doneness Timer.
1) Cast-Iron Sear + Oven (steakhouse classic)
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Pat steaks dry; salt generously.
- Sear in a lightly oiled, ripping-hot skillet ~1½–2 minutes per side for deep color.
- Finish in oven to 130–135°F. Rest 5 minutes. Top with herb butter.
2) Two-Zone Grill (char + gentle finish)
- Set hot and cool zones (charcoal or gas). Sear over direct heat 1–2 minutes per side.
- Move to indirect; lid closed until internal temp hits your target. Rest 5 minutes.
- Need setup help? Use the Grill Setup Wizard.
3) Reverse-Sear (ultra-even)
- Roast or grill indirectly at 250–275°F until internal reaches 110–115°F.
- Sear hard in cast-iron or over high direct heat 45–60 seconds per side to finish.
4) Sous Vide + Sear (edge-to-edge rosy)
- Bag with a pat of butter and thyme. Cook at 129–133°F for 1–2 hours (thickness-dependent).
- Pat bone-dry; sear very hot, very fast for a crisp crust without overcooking.
- For exact windows by thickness, try our Sous Vide & Reverse-Sear Calculator.
Pro Tips
- Tie for perfection: use butcher’s twine to keep round shape (more even cooking).
- Butter-baste: in the last minute of sear, baste with butter + garlic + thyme for aroma and sheen.
- Don’t overdo it: filet is very lean—pull a few degrees early and let carryover finish the job.
Quality & Safety
- Ships frozen via cold-chain with insulated packaging and dry ice. See Shipping for cut-offs and delivery timing.
- On arrival, move directly to the freezer or begin a controlled fridge thaw. Review best practices in Meat Safety & Storage.
