The Best Steak Cut At Trader Joe's For A Luxurious Dinner
BY Daraisha Cosby
In our ranking of five Trader Joe's USDA choice steaks, the filet mignon emerged as our top pick for a luxurious meal, thanks to the marbling that melts into the meat as it cooks.
Once melted, the marbled fat gives the meat a richness and buttery consistency that no other cut in the ranking quite matches, bringing top-tier quality straight to your kitchen.
Unlike other cuts that can vary in texture, the filet offers a smooth, even, and juicy bite every time, so you get a refined steak without leaving the house or spending a fortune.
The filet adapts to various cooking methods and recipes and delivers great value. Costing about $10 more than the other cuts we ranked, the nearly 15-ounce steak is ideal for two.
