Beef cut question?!
Beef cut question?
I have a quarter of beef from the butcher. A couple of the packages are labeled fillet. Would this be filet mignon? There are 2 in a package and each piece of meat is about 3 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick.
Also need to know the best way to cook them other than on a grill. I don't like cooking on a grill and can't get anything to come out right.
