Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon
Description
This recipe uses filet mignon steaks about 4 to 6 ounces each, trimmed of excess fat and wrapped individually with one or two slices of bacon secured by toothpicks. After seasoning with salt and pepper, the filets are browned on all sides in a cast iron skillet with butter and olive oil, creating a caramelized crust. Then the skillet is transferred to a preheated 450°F oven to finish cooking, typically 5 to 7 minutes depending on desired steak temperature. Resting for several minutes allows the juices to redistribute before serving.
The bacon wrap introduces a rich smoky element contrasting with the mild, tender texture of the filet mignon. The method balances pan searing and oven roasting to deliver even cooking with a flavorful, crisp bacon layer. This steak is well-suited as an elegant entrée paired with vegetables or potatoes.
Ingredients
- 4 beef filet mignon approximately 4-6 oz each, trim off any excess fat
- 8 lices Bacon 1-2 pieces per filet
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp butter
Instructions
- First preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Wrap a piece of bacon around each of the filets and secure the bacon onto the meat with a toothpick.
- Then season both sides of the filets with the salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter and the oil to the pan and heat it through. Then place the filets in the pan and cook each side for 2-3 minutes to brown both sides.
- Leave the filets in the cast iron skillet and move the pan to the oven. Cook in the oven for 5-7 minutes until the steak is cooked to the preference that you desire (see notes for the temperature of the steak).
- Let the steak sit for 3-5 minutes and then serve and enjoy!
