FILET MIGNON WITH BACON CHIMICHURRI
Move over bacon wrapped fliets, these marinated fliet's are accompanied by chimichurri, a South American sauce for grilled meats made with olive oil, parsley and garlic. My chimichurri has an indulgent addition to the classic recipe: bacon.

Steps:
- MARINATE THE STEAK: In a large, shallow dish, combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, wine, onion and olive oil. Add the hanger steaks and turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- MAKE THE CHIMICHURRI: In a food processor, pulse the garlic, parsley, oregano, vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil until the herbs are pureed. Scrape into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook the bacon in 2 batches over moderate heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and let cool, then finely chop. Add Bacon to chimichurri.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Scrape the marinade off the steaks and season them with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tbl oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear steaks quickly on both sides until brown, then place in an oven safe dish, put into the oven.
- Spoon 2 Tbl of the chimichurri sauce over each Fliet.
- Roast steaks in the oven, at 350, for about 9 minutes for medium - with an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). You may adjust this time to allow the steaks to finish just below your desired degree of doneness if medium is not what you prefer. Remove from the oven, and serve.

FILET MIGNON SANDWICH WITH ONIONS, CAMEMBERT, FRIED EGG AND CHIMICHURRI
Steps:
- For the chimichurri: In a blender combine the oil, garlic, chiles, cilantro, onions, parsley and oregano. Season with salt, then stir in the vinegar. Just before serving, taste and season with more salt if needed.
- For the salad: Add the tomatoes and onions to a bowl. Toss with some olive oil and the vinegar. Season with salt and garnish with the basil.
- For the sandwiches: Coat a large saute pan set over medium heat with olive oil and toss in the onions. Season with salt and the crushed red pepper, and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the onions until soft, aromatic and lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel, but don't wash it.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Sprinkle the steaks generously with salt. Coat the pan used for the onions with olive oil and place over high heat. You want to get it really hot; the oil should almost be smoking. Working in batches so you don't crowd the pan, cook the steak slices for about 1 minute on each side. Reserve the cooked slices and repeat until all the steak is cooked.
- Cut the rolls in half, scoop out the middle and toast under the broiler.
- Divide the steak evenly among the rolls. Arrange the sauteed onions in an even layer on top of the steak, then drizzle the meat with the chimichurri. Place 2 slices of Camembert on each sandwich and heat under the broiler until the cheese is really nice and melty, 1 to 2 minutes.
- While the cheese melts, coat a nonstick saute pan with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry until the whites are cooked through but the yolks are still runny.
- Top each sandwich with a sunny-side up egg and finish with a big drizzle of the chimichurri. Close the sandwich, squish it, get lots of napkins, and eat the deliciousness. Serve with the tomato and onion salad.

Steps:
- Remove your filet mignon from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. (This will ensure even cooking.)
- Mash together half of the butter (1 tablespoon, 14 g), rosemary, thyme, and garlic. (Sprinkle in a little sea salt if using unsalted butter.) Form into a log and refrigerate until the last step.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
- Trim any connective tissue around the edges of the beef tenderloins. Season the filets liberally with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat the cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, until the skillet is very hot. Melt the remaining butter (1 tablespoon, 14 g) in the skillet.
- Add the filets. Sear for 2 minutes on each side, without moving them around.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake to desired level of doneness. (I recommend medium rare.) For a 2 in (5 cm)thick filet, that is 5 minutes for rare, 6 minutes for medium rare, 7 minutes for medium, or 8 minutes for medium well. Use a meat thermometer to check for the right temperature - 120 degrees F (52 degrees C) for rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare, 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium, and 155 degrees F (68 degrees C) for medium well. The temperature will rise by another 5 degrees F while resting (see next step).
- Remove the filets from the oven and transfer to a plate. Top each with 1/2 tablespoon (7 g) of herb butter (slice the log of herb butter into four parts and put one on each steak). Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Brush the filets with olive oil, and cook on the preheated grill to desired doneness (about 4 minutes per side for medium rare). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Set the steaks aside on a platter tented with aluminum foil to rest.
- While the steaks are resting, prepare the sauce: cook and stir the chopped bacon in a small saucepan over medium heat until the bacon pieces are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and shallots, and cook and stir until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes more.
- Stir in the half-and-half, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve over the steaks.
