What is the most tender and less fatty steak of two filet mignon or rib eye?

Here's why:

* Filet Mignon: Comes from the tenderloin, a long, narrow muscle that doesn't get much exercise. This lack of use makes it incredibly tender, with minimal marbling (fat).

* Rib Eye: Comes from the rib primal cut, which includes the rib-eye muscle and surrounding fat. While flavorful, it has a higher amount of marbling, making it slightly less tender and more fatty than the filet.

However, both are excellent cuts of meat. The difference ultimately boils down to personal preference:

* Filet Mignon: Best for those who prioritize tenderness and a leaner flavor profile.

* Rib Eye: Best for those who enjoy a richer, more flavorful steak with a slightly chewier texture.

Ultimately, the best way to determine which steak is right for you is to try both and see which you prefer!
