Ingredients

For Each Serving

• 1 slice bacon
• 1 filet mignon, cut about 2" thick
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

Fry the bacon in a skillet over high heat until almost crisp. Drain on paper towels and wrap around the side of the filet, attaching the ends with a toothpick. Season the filet with salt and pepper and sauté in a little bacon grease until browned on both sides.

Transfer to a preheated 450°F oven and roast to an internal temperature of 125° F for medium rare, about 8-10 minutes. Allow to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.

You can also transfer these to a preheated grill on medium heat to finish cooking.
