  1. Just a reminder, the T is legally silent, however if you’re a goofball, filleT is perfect fine

  2. Isn’t that an eye fillet?

    I’ve bought various lengths of that before, I just cut them an inch thick and fry them with oil and a bit of butter. That and scotch fillet are my favourites.

  3. Fillet of beef is my favourite. My late husband used to love beef wellington with Madeira sauce. It is true, that if you buy the whole fillet, as I used to, it works out much cheaper than just the very best steaks from the middle of the fillet. But be warned..it is still incredibly expensive. But definitely worth it from time to time.

  4. "What we call, here in the States"… the wrong name, like everything else!
    Pants, Vest, Eye Glasses, Trunk, Hood, Bangs, Pavement, Sidewalk, Crosswalk, Gas, color, neighbor, Football, Mom, Baby Momma, College…

  5. I remember watching one episode of Hell's Kitchen and one of the male contestants basically mutilated the tenderloin when attempted to portion it into fillets. So much of the meat wasted

  6. “Tail end” is called tournedos. The middle you divide into steaks / filet mignon and the thick end is the chateaubriand….. and you definitely don’t waste it turning it into stir fry strips….. smh

  7. I'm so sorry, but I hate how the British say fillet as "fill-it" instead of "fill-ay"! It's literally a a freaking French word. More brithish people speak French than Americans yet they don't pronounce the french words properly!

  8. If you do this at home you don't have to prep it restaurant style. Just cut it into the steak size pieces you want with the fat on and it'll be great.
