Get a great deal on beef fillet with Taylor's online store. This beef cut comes from the smaller end of the tenderloin (or psoas major), making it very lean and tender. A very sought after part of the animal; there are less of this cut available from the cow than other types. The French call this cut filet mignon, although this usually refers to pork and not beef, with mignon literally meaning 'delicate' or 'fine'. A distinction is made with the term filet de bœuf. When it comes to wine pairings, if using a simple dressing, opt for a light Pinot Noir. Thicker sauces require a dry white wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon.
