99% sure it's a ribeye.
Could be a funnily misshapen new york.
GalaxyHops1994 t1_j0q9sms wrote
It’s still a great cut! More flavorful than a filet, but yeah, that’s not a filet.
Murder_Ballads t1_j0qc9vt wrote
That gravy looks great.
blisi21 t1_j0qe5sg wrote
Definitely a ribeye, just a lower quality one. Technically a Delmonico steak. Cut from the rib far enough up to be lacking any major spinalis muscle (the soft, fatty cap meat on the opposite side from the tail and also the most valuable part of the steak.). OP pretty much got sold a low grade ribeye as a filet. If this was from a restaurant I hope OP posts because they are scamming.

He said in another comment that he's a new home cook, I think it was just an honest mistake.
TheKingOfDub t1_j0qfkl6 wrote
It’s possible this is from an improperly separated tenderloin. I feel like I can make out the chain (top left) and just generally not cleaned up of fat, etc. If it’s tenderloin, someone just took a whole tenderloin and sliced it without proper prep
EDIT: Also, super thinly sliced

Not sure where you bought your meat but that's not filet mignon.

Its steak. It looks good. I have two rosemary bushes and I use cuttings all the time when cooking/braising/roasting chicken, turkey, stew, roast, etc.

New home cook means you can't read what meat you're buying??

i don't know anything about steak, so i can't comment about what cut it is. what i can say though, is that this looks delicious. I'd devour it with some brocoli or something, some colour would make this the perfect plate.
kuddoo t1_j0qy9uz wrote
They said they bought it from a guy on the street and the guy said it's fillet mignon.
I'm going to make a reenactment of the dialogue:
Client: is this fillet mignon?
Seller: Umm..yea, sure. Why not!

Yeah but when you go to a butcher case the cuts are labeled lol.

CavemanSlevy t1_j0r2ngc wrote
Great crust on the steak and the pan sauce looks good on those taters.
As others have stated that doesn’t look like a filet, but that hardly matters. Personally I have had it with all the snobbery and elitism that surrounds home cooking these days.

Guys used to steal meat from the packing plant where they worked and sell it in bar parking lots at night. They probably still do, but it was a thing when I was young.

It matters because most likely OP paid too much. They should know what they're getting in the future. If anything that's being cheap rather than elitist.

That’s strange because OP never mentioned a price , you seem to be assuming quite a lot.
Also a ribeye (which is what that looks like) costs more than a filet usually.

Pretty much anywhere? They cost about the same per pound and the ribeye is a much bigger cut.
Masahiro240 t1_j0ss1tl wrote
I also thought it wa a poorly clean filet that was butterflied but it not symmetrical. My guess is a ribeye that had the top layer of meat removed but not the lower chain. Due to the large fat cap on the one end.

HanzoXHanzo t1_j0tcvkc wrote
For future reference, a filet mignon is a piece of meat cut from the tenderloin of the cow. Which is a really long cylindrical shaped piece of meat that tapers off at each end. So a filet mignon is either a cylinder shape as well or a cone shape if it's the end piece of the tenderloin.
reallamedroid t1_j0tetib wrote
Its not filet mignon but your reasoning is wrong. You can cut filet in any shape you want.

When I worked in retail the shoplifters would go straight to the meat grab armfuls of steaks into a bag and run.
I assume they were selling them, not eating them.
HanzoXHanzo t1_j0uzw2j wrote
I mean, I guess you can mutilate the tenderloin and cut off a lot of pieces to be whatever shape you want. I've never seen it happen before though, and I work at a catering company. We've done filets quite a few times.
