Instructions
How to Make Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (220°C).
- Prepare the steaks by bringing them to room temperature. Lightly rub both sides with two tablespoons of olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
- Wrap each filet mignon steak with one or two slices of bacon, starting at one end and wrapping tightly. Slightly overlap the slices, and use a toothpick to secure them if needed.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, add the bacon-wrapped steaks. Add the butter and thyme, searing for about 2 minutes on each side until the bacon crisps up and turns golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for about 6-7 minutes for medium-rare doneness (135°F). Adjust your cooking time for other desired doneness levels.
- Rest the pan from the oven and let the steaks sit for a few minutes. This helps retain their juices for maximum flavor when serving.
Notes
Serve with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an extra layer of flavor.
