Best Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon Recipes

BACON WRAPPED, FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• 1. Remove any silver skin, and extra fat from the fillets. Wrap a piece of bacon around the outside, and either secure with a toothpick, or wrap with butcher's twine. Don't overlap the bacon by more than 1/4", you want to make sure that the bacon will cook. However, if your using thin bacon, you might want to use 2 pieces to get the extra thickness and flavor. Securing the bacon with toothpicks works, but by tieing the bacon, you're forming a more rounded piece of meat that will look nicer on the plate.
• 2. Oil the meat liberally, dust with the blacken. salt, and pepper, and rub it into both sides of the meat. Se the meat on a platter and place back in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook it. Don't be afraid to use a little more slat than you think you should, it's on the grill and won't end up as strong.
• 3. Cook over a medium hot grill for about 10 minutes per side. Ultimately you want the meat to reach an internal temperature of 110 degrees. If you cook on too hot a fire, the bacon will flame up and you'll end up with burned bacon, and burned meat. The oil on the outside helps the meat to sear (keeping in the juices), and helps keep the meat from sticking to the grill.
• 4. When testing the internal temperature of a thin pieces of meat, be sure to insert the thermometer in from the side.

Salad and garlic bread on the side. *Remember to use heavy hot pads (or several) when taking skillet out of oven! Handle will be VERY hot!

TEIXEIRA'S PAN-SEARED BACON WRAPPED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Trim the perimeter of the fillets to remove the large segment of fat that's usually present. Be very careful not to remove any meat. When complete, the entire fillet should be considered edible without further trimming based on your (guest's) preference.
• Cut the fillets into small, round steaks 2-3" in diameter. Each fillet should yield 2 to 3 fillets.
• Add the butter to a 12", oven safe skillet and begin to melt over low heat.
• Tightly wrap each fillet with one slice of bacon, pinning the bacon to the fillet where the bacon overlaps itself with a single toothpick.
• Add a small dash of salt and pepper to taste on top of each fillet. Flip and repeat.
• Increase the heat under the skillet to medium and then add the fillets.
• Cook for two minutes to sear the meat. Flip the fillets and sear the other side for 1-2 minutes. If possible, very gently nudge the fillets against the edge of the pan just enough to make contact to help sear the bacon during this time. DO NOT squeeze the fillets!
• (Optional) Add just a few crumbles of blue cheese to the top of each steak. Don't overdo this; blue cheese is strong and not the centerpiece of this dish.
• Immediately remove the entire skillet and place it in the oven for 7-10 minutes. This can vary depending on the thickness of the steaks (assumes about 1") and wellness preference. I prefer to err on the side of rare for these small steaks. You can always heat them further.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the fillets to sit for 2 minutes before you move them. This allows time for the juice to re-absorb.
• Gently remove the steaks from the skillet, and then the toothpicks from the steak. Serve immediately.
