Bison Filet Mignon

The most tender cut on the animal

The filet mignon, cut from the tenderloin, is the most tender cut you can pull from a bison. Lean, mild in flavor, with a texture that almost cuts itself. Where a ribeye has bold flavor to lean on, a filet asks the cook to step back and let the meat speak. From a 100% grass-fed, grass-finished animal, the flavor is clean and slightly sweet — leaner than beef tenderloin but with a character of its own.

Each package contains 2 filets, cut 1 inch thick. Individual filets may vary slightly in size — the listed package weight is what's guaranteed. Classic for an anniversary dinner, surf-and-turf, or steak medallions over a rich sauce. Pairs beautifully with peppercorn cream, blue cheese butter, or a red wine reduction. Bacon-wrapping is a classic move that adds welcome fat to this lean cut.

A note on cooking grass-fed bison: Grass-fed bison is significantly leaner than beef or grain-finished bison. It cooks faster and dries out more easily. Most people get the best results pulling it off the heat earlier than they would beef and letting it rest. Treat it gently and it will reward you.

A note on weight: The package size you select is your guaranteed minimum. Many packages run slightly heavier. Each cut is hand-trimmed by our USDA-inspected processor from individual animals, and natural variation is part of what makes this real ranch meat.
