Provided by á-46334

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8-to10-ounce) filets, 2 inches thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
2 thin bacon slices
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Pat each filet dry with paper towels and liberally season both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Wrap each filet with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. In an ovenproof skillet over medium-high, heat the butter and oil. Add the filets and sear until nicely browned on each side, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the filets are medium-rare, about 10 minutes (or longer depending on your preference of doneness). Remove the pan from the oven and loosely tent with foil. Allow the filets to rest 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
