Filet
It has almost NO FAT but it is not chewy/tough at all unlike you imagine when you talk about red-lean meat. In fact, it is really tender and juicy. It is one of the most expensive cuts. Compared to other cuts, it is a bit higher in price. Despite that, it is a very popular cut that has the best lean flavor and tenderness.
Filet's FAQ

Which Part is Filet from?It is a very tender part along spine of cow. The amount you can get is about 3% of one whole cow. It doesn't move much, the muscles are really thin/fine that make it very tender and juicy. The center part is called "Chateaubriand" and it is the most expensive cut.

How should I Cook it?Depends on how thick it is. But first we recommend slow-cook then sear on high-heat as a finish-up. Searing it on high-heat from the beginning also works and quicker. However, it easily gets tough if you overcook it. Medium-rare is the best.

I bought three packages of these off-cuts on sale for a very reasonable price. We cooked 250 grams of these the other day in a skillet, with a simple salt and pepper rub. Absolutely delicious! Will buy again.
