Order take out from a new Grill restaurant and this was their “Filet Mignon”. I’m like this can’t be right, went to the website to closer at reviews and people were posting the same pic but leaving 5 star reviews. Is it possible this IS filet mignon?

Oh no, you are confused. You clearly ordered the Flaming Yawn. It looks good in the pictures but out of the box, it’s a real snooze fest.
Either way looks good where is this
Looks like a bottom round to me
My friend, I believe you have ordered a *filet mais non*.
flat iron? maybe?
Wow that looks terrible!
Looks like kebab lol.

Look like skirt steak
looks like they took a cut of filet and then spiral cut it into that. I’ve seen and eaten it like that before. Could definitely be filet.
Is this from a place called Moby Dick House of Kabob? Looks like it.
Persian and armenian spots always say this is filet mignon, but it’s like the least tender spot of the tenderloin
This is a persian kabab dish called Brag kabab which is traditionally made from lamb tenderloin but also made from beef fillet. It’s an amazing dish but it’s nothing like a traditional steak which it never claimed to be.
Don’t listen to other commenters. This is Kabob Barg. It is made from filet mignon / tenderloin that is butterflied and tenderized with a knife.

That’s an Iranian kabob bargh which is typically beef tenderloin.
Gotta love when small restaurants beg their friends and family to leave positive reviews on their mediocre food.
I hope you didn’t pay top dollar filet price for this.
100% filet
Looks like kebab meat lol
Looks like flap meat
That’s a kebab restaurant.
This is the traditional style of filet mignon in Persian cuisine called Kabob Barg. It is marinated and thinly cut with the grain to be skewered over an open flame and give the meat enough chew so you can really savor the flavor as you eat. The meat is lacking char so the grilling wasn’t executed perfectly but overall, I think it’s delicious
Its a Filet Mi-Nah
Are you in the market for a bridge? I have one for sale and since you’re a fellow Redditor, I’ll sell it to you for a very good price.

This is a kebab bro, probably from an Iranian restaurant. It’s called Kebab Barg and they usually use filet mignon or the whole tenderloin.
They must have paid for those reviews. This practice should be illegal.
Could be. In Argentina, I often ate bife de lomo (same tenderloin as filet mignon), but it’s cut lengthwise.
This is filet. With Cary but the meat is filet
Bro thought he was at a steakhouse
ITT: OP learns that other cultures prepare same cut of meat differently.
Looks like sliced strip 😂
Boiled meat is a delicacy apparently.
Thats the filet of pigeon
What aircraft carrier did you get this steak from?
Could be butterfly
Can you cut it with a fork? Was it tough? Was it chewy? Was there any marbling and fat or stringy grain?
It looks like skirt steak to me but could be spiral cut or a flattened piece off a tenderloin and not a traditional center cut dry aged filet.
That’s filet mignon, but its not made to be a steak
Looks likes skirt steak to me, honestly my favorite cut it cooked right
Every time I cook skirt steak it’s alway tender I think it has to do with the way it cut, against the grain or not
Yes, an Iranian type of kabob (there are many types of kabob there). It’s tenderloin that is sliced very thin and put on coals. The closest thing to a traditional steak in Iranian/Persian cuisine is Nader-i or Shish kabob which is tenderloin in cubes cooked on a skewer which can get to be about the size of half a petite filet size but 3-4 of them on the skewer.
But, my advice is to not get it as take out. It’s orders of magnitude better in the restaurant and eaten in a particularly way (that you can look up on YouTube, go with an Iranian friend or just ask the waiter or person sitting next to you (Iranians are very friendly and wouldn’t mind…at least I wouldn’t!)
Doesn’t look like a filet but it does look kinda bomb to me lmao
Looks like persian dish, chenjeh with is marinated tenderloin on a skewer which explains the shape. Its not eaten as a traditional steak. Try koobideh next time.
Ever think of fake reviews?
That’s mostly like skirt steak, not filet mignon.
It’s filet OF Mignon…Mignon was the name of the horse.
That looks like skirt steak. And while I love skirt steak (it’s actually my favorite cut), if I ordered and paid for a filet mignon I’d be pissed.
That’s not a steak, and doesn’t claim tonbe
