What exactly is a Filet Mignon? Contrary to popular belief, a filet mignon is not a beef tenderloin steak that has been wrapped in bacon. The term filet mignon literally means, in French, small boneless meat.

The filet minon comes from the small end of the beef tenderloin. This end is even a nicer, more expensive piece of meat than the large end. It is often wrapped in bacon before grilling, but this is not what makes it a filet minon. Just being from the small end of the tenderloin gives it the name.
