Agreed. Ribeyes are the best most flavorful cut.

Filets are for women and dainty men.

The filet is cut from the short loin just like the backstrap of a deer.


Filet is tenderloin of deer, not blackstrap

Skirt and hanger are both more flavorful than a ribeye.

Why not both a Ribeye and Filet?

I think some clarification is in order. "Filet" is the cut, from the tenderloin. "Filet mignon" is the presentation - mignon being French for "pretty." Historically, a filet mignon would be bacon-wrapped, seared quickly on both sides, then cooked to temperature in a broiler or other form of indirect, non-contact heat.

When done properly, it is amazeballs. It will not be done anything resembling properly outside of a high-end steakhouse or at your home if you know what you're doing.

My go-to is ribeye because I prefer the flavor and the fattiness over filet, but that personal preference does not mean the ribeye is a "better" cut. If I'm at a high-end place and money isn't a factor, I'll have the filet, rare-going-on-medium-rare.

If you haven't tried it, give crushed rosemary a shot the next time you cook steak. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and crushed rosemary combine with butter and the beef flavor to produce a wonderful taste.
