Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon

🧂 Ingredients

• 16 oz filet mignon

  (2 8oz filets)
• 4 slices bacon

  (thin sliced bacon)
• 1 teaspoon each, salt & pepper

  (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

  (extra virgin)

Instructions

• 1 Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (230°C). Use a sharp knife to cut any
  white membrane and excess fat from 2 8-ounce filet mignon steaks (or whatever
  size filets you have).
• 2 Use 1-2 slices of bacon per steak (or more if desired) and wrap it around the
  sides, stretching as you go. Secure the bacon with butcher's twine or
  toothpicks.
• 3 Generously season each side of your steak using 1 teaspoon each of salt and
  pepper, or more to taste.
• 4 Heat a cast-iron skillet, or any oven-safe skillet, over medium-high heat. Add 1
  tablespoon each of butter and olive oil. Once hot and starting to smoke
  slightly, add the steaks. Sear for 2 minutes on each side.
• 5 Place your skillet with the steaks into the oven and roast at 450°F (230°C) for
  6-7 minutes depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer
  to check the internal temperature.
• 6 Transfer the steaks to a plate or cutting board and loosely tent foil over the
  top. Rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing or serving.
