And I can see why they wrap bacon around it. It is incredibly bland. But incredibly tender too. I used just the slightest touch of Johnny Season Salt on it. Not enough to even taste. I think if I season it properly I could like it, but I want to be careful with anything that has salt in it.

I bought one of those bacon wrapped fillet mignon once and it was gross. I think maybe the bacon went bad, but i never bought one since.

Nitpicking point: It's spelled "filet" with one "L". When you write about it, if you just type "fillet" people will think you mean fish. If you say just "filet" people know you mean filet mignon.
Now, properly seasoned a good filet that is cooked very rare will have a unique and intense flavor with a combination of flavor/texture that I can only describe as "buttery". I know that description doesn't do the experience justice.
I do not find the cut bland in the least, but eating too big of a piece of it is a bit overwhelming to me. I prefer it to be grilled "Pittsburgh" or "Chicago" rare which means seared on the outside with grill marks and *just* warm in the center and only just properly seasoned with salt and pepper.
Properly seasoning with salt and pepper is the key - most home cooks don't know how to do it and could improve their own cooking VASTLY by throwing away all their other spices and seasonings and learning how to salt and pepper food properly.

i love a filet. sear it and bring it to me. and yeah, at least around here they call it chicago style. still sizzling when they bring it to you. and buttery is a description i use a lot. not ever sure many get that.
since salt is basically out for you due to medical reasons, you are going to have to experiment w/ other seasonings.
maybe some black and red, or a non salt added steak seasoning you might find.

But... see... if you treat filet like "steak" you are missing out imo.
Filet is a cut altogether different than your typical rib-eye, delmonico, strip, or sirloin. It should be handled in a manner in keeping with the exquisiteness of its flavor and texture and that means letting it stand on its own and shine through the meal. If people don't like filet on its own, they are wasting their money and should instead order a sirloin.

I know Ruths Cris does the butter thing as soon as the steak comes off the grill. I didn't like how much they had on it. Maybe it would be necessary though for a thick steak. I also would not use mushrooms. I don't mind them, I just don't think I would care for them on a steak or burger. I can use a little bit of salt on a steak. My doc told me to use salt in cooking but not ass any at the table. I still don't cook with much though. I can even eat grits with no salt now. And a potato with sour cream without salt. And chili. I can make a pot of chili and eat it and never add salt.

Yeah, me too. I've only eaten them about 4 times in the last year. Three months after the stroke I still needed salt on them. But not now.

do you add butter? and if so, does the butter have salt? or are you using a fake butter knock-off?

The theory is that properly seasoned (salt and pepper) food, there should be little or no need for salt or pepper at the table. That's a contentious point of course, but generally speaking, especially on a salt restricted diet, I'd bet that if you got the hang of using salt and pepper while you cooked, you'd a) not have any issues with your salt intake because the actual amount of salt used would be less than you think and b) would not find yourself wanting to add salt or pepper at the table.

Yeah, it is so lean throughout that it doesn't really taste like a "steak".
So good, though.
