In French this cut can also be called filet de bœuf, which translates in English to beef fillet . </P> <P> The tenderloin runs along both sides of the spine, and is usually harvested as two long snake - shaped cuts of beef . The tenderloin is sometimes sold whole . When sliced along the short dimension, creating roughly round cuts, and tube cuts, the cuts (fillets) from the small forward end are considered to be filet mignon . Those from the center are tournedos; however, some butchers in the United States label all types of tenderloin steaks "filet mignon ." In fact, the shape of the true filet mignon may be a hindrance when cooking, so most restaurants sell steaks from the wider end of the tenderloin - it is both cheaper and much more presentable . </P>
