2 Filet mignon is prized around the world as quality beef, the kind that fetches high prices and the praise of meat lovers around the world. But what is it exactly that makes filet mignon so special? Read on to learn why it s the king of beef cuts, and why it makes for the perfect beef jerky.

3 From French, filet mignon loosely translates to tender filet. As the name implies, this particular cut of beef is famous for its tender texture. When properly prepared, Filet Mignon can be supple enough to be cut with a fork alone.

4 There s been plenty of talk in recent years about the possible negative health effects of red meat, particularly its artery-clogging properties. While it s true that greasy burgers and fast food quality beef can hardly be called healthy, filet mignon is something else entirely. In fact, filet mignon contains many essential nutrients and is surprisingly low in the fats and calories that cause people to avoid red meat.

5 Unlike the fattiest cuts of beef, filet mignon is comprised of lean red meat. A 3 oz. serving of filet mignon includes: 23 grams of protein, which the body uses to repair and build muscle A healthy dose of iron, which helps the blood keep body tissue and organs oxygenated Multiple types of B vitamins, including B12, which boosts healthy blood cell production and helps maintain the nervous system Selenium, known to reduce the risk of colon cancer Zinc, known to help reduce the risk of clogged arteries

6 But what about calories?! the health-conscious readers among you are already asking. Like any food, filet mignon does include calories (in this case, approximately 185 per 3 oz. serving). Unlike calories found in fast food beef, however, the calories in filet mignon are quality calories that the body needs to function. While you shouldn t eat red meat for every meal, a lean cut a few times a week is more likely to improve your health rather than harm it. 1

7 If your image of beef jerky is shriveled up sheets of tough, tooth-damaging meat hanging next to the grocery store check-out line, we ve got some good news for you. Unlike the low-quality product made by most jerky companies, high-quality Three Jerks Jerky is something else entirely tender, flavorful, and made from prime cuts of delicious filet mignon.

8 In addition to using fine cuts of filet mignon to create flavorful, mouth-watering jerky, Three Jerks also makes sure only to use the finest natural ingredients. Unlike most jerkies, Three Jerks has no MSG, sodium or sodium nitrates, gluten, or artificial ingredients of any kind no unpronounceable chemical compounds to be found here!

9 While we re definitely not opposed to anyone enjoying Three Jerks Jerky as a between meal snack, we also recommend that diners enjoy our filet mignon jerky like they would any other cut of quality meat paired with a fine wine or a tasty beer. A good Cabernet Sauvignon or a hearty IPA will complement the flavor of the meat, without being so strong as to overpower the taste of delicious filet mignon.

10 Three Jerks Jerky was founded on a simple belief not all jerky is created equal. With that in mind, Three Jerks Jerky has worked to find the perfect combination of meats, flavors, and cooking processes, all to create the best beef jerky available. Learn more at

12 Summary Filet mignon is the most prized cut of beef for a reason it s tender, it s flavorful, and it s healthier than you think. That s also why it makes for the best beef jerky.
