• 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 its the king of
  beef cuts, and why it makes for the perfect beef
  jerky.

• 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.

• Theres been plenty of talk in recent years about
  the possible negative health effects of red meat,
  particularly its artery-clogging properties.
  While its 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.

• 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

• 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
  shouldnt 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

• If your image of beef jerky is shriveled up
  sheets of tough, tooth-damaging meat hanging next
  to the grocery store check-out line, weve 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.

• 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!

• While were 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.

• 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 www.threejerksjerke
