A serving of filet mignon is typically 3 oz., so eating an 8-oz. serving, with 558 calories and nearly 41 g of fat, with 16 g being saturated, may be overdoing it. In addition, a diet that is too high in fat and calories can result in weight gain. Meat is an important source of iron, and 8 oz. of filet mignon contains just over 3 mg. The daily intake recommendation for iron is 8 mg per day for men and 18 mg daily for women. Iron aids in transporting oxygen through your blood and plays a role in cell growth.
Remove the filet mignon from your refrigerator and set them on your counter top to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Filet mignon is very lean and doesnât usually require any trimming. Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. Season the filet mignon with salt and pepper on both sides.
