Tidbits about Filet mignon:   This most tender, lean, succulent yet elegant meat is from the small end of the tenderloin area of the animal, which is non-weight bearing and not toughened by daily exercise, resulting in extremely tender meat. The name is French for “cute filet” with “filet” meaning thick, boneless slice and mignon meaning “dainty.” ... French: tournedos, filet de bœuf.
 
No matter if I am grilling or sautéing this beautiful cut of beef; I always take it off between 135-140 degrees F.  That is a medium-rare temperature but remember it will continue to cook while it is resting.  Your family or guests may say, "I like my meat medium"  Do NOT over cook this meat.  I am not a rare beef eater but this tender meat is so delicate that you don't want to overcook. 
 
Enjoy xo
