Aging meat lets fibers such as collagen break down over time. This makes it more tender. Filet mignon is sometimes aged, but people usually age it for three to four days, not two to three weeks like many other cuts of beef. Wet-aged beef sits inside a refrigerator in vacuum-sealed packaging. Dry-aged beef is more exposed to the air. You can dry-age filet mignon at home by rinsing it, drying it with a paper towel, and wrapping cheesecloth around it. Change the cheesecloth every day for a few days to absorb some of the juices that come from your filet mignon. As time passes, the cheesecloth will be less moist when you change it, and the surface of the meat will look drier. Dry-aged meat has a stronger, more nutty flavor, and it's available along with wet-aged filet mignon through Instacart.  When you select your filet mignon via Instacart, you'll be able to look at the filet mignons in your area and decide on the best option without leaving your home or office.
