Beef tenderloin is a beautiful, tender cut of beef and is what is used to make filet mignon. To make a roast from the tenderloin you can ask your butcher to cut a big center piece from a whole tenderloin, or purchase a whole tenderloin and cut it yourself for this purpose, saving the rest for filet mignon.
A classic filet mignon measures just 1-inch in diameter because it's typically cut from the smallest end of the tenderloin. Although, in most markets and restaurants steaks cut from the tenderloin that measure 1- to 2-inches thick and 2- to 3-inches in diameter still bear the name filet mignon. You may also find these thicker, larger cuts labels as tenderloin steak. Tournedos and medallions are other names for filet mignon.
