Fillet?

Hi

Do you use the word 'fillet' or 'filet'? If yes, how do you use it?

"Fillet OF beef" but "fish fillet" ?

Thanks

A fillet of fish is a piece of fish from which the bones have been removed.

A fillet steak is a slice of the tenderest meat from an animal.

The word filet is French and is used pretentiously in English and American restaurants to inflate the price charged for it.

Any tips on pronunciation? I find this totally confusing. Same with "valet".
