It's hard to get a more flavorful piece of beef than filet mignon. However, you can kick up the flavor even more by dry-aging filet mignon at home. By purchasing regular filet mignon at the store and dry-aging it at home, you'll save money and still enjoy the concentrated flavor of dry-aged beef. Once you get the dry-aging process down, you'll never want to prepare your steaks any other way. The only catch is that it takes a few days of preparation, and you don't want to age your steak more than three days, or it will spoil. Cut strips of cheesecloth about 4 inches wide, depending on the size of your steaks. Cut the strips wide enough so that the width perfectly covers the steaks. Wrap the cheesecloth around each filet so that you have about four layers of cheesecloth on each side of the steak.
