Ingredients
- 2 8- ounce beef tenderloin filets , center cut and 2 inches thick
- ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon vegetable or canola oil
- 2 center-cut pieces of bacon
- 2 tablespoons maître d hotel butter
- chives , snipped for garnish
- Horseradish Sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Season both sides of the beef filets with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a large cast iron or other oven-safe pan over medium heat.
- Add the strips of bacon, par-cooking for 3-4 minutes until bacon is starting to cook, but still pliable and not crispy. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Dab well with the paper towel. Turn off the heat, but reserve the pan.
- Carefully wrap the bacon around each beef filet and secure it with a toothpick.
- In the same pan, reheat over medium heat with the rendered bacon fat. When hot, sear both sides of the filet, approximately 1-2 minutes per side depending on your desired level of doneness.
- Remove from the stove and place into the preheated oven. Cook for an additional 5 minutes for rare, 7 minutes or medium rare and 8 minutes for medium. Use an internal digital thermometer to check the temperature since the thickness of steaks can vary greatly and thus, so can cooking times.
- Remove the steaks for the oven and hot pan, allowing them to cool on a cutting board or plate for 3-4 minutes.
- When ready to serve, top with a pat of maître d hotel butter and snipped chives. Serve with creamy horseradish sauce.
