Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef tenderloin steaks (about 2 inches thick each)
- 8 slices Thinly sliced bacon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Madeira wine
- 0.5 cup Beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 4 pieces Kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season each beef tenderloin steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
Wrap each steak with two slices of bacon, overlapping slightly to cover the sides. Secure with kitchen twine to hold the bacon in place.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side until the bacon is crisp and the meat has a nice golden crust.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steaks reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or your preferred doneness.
While the steaks are roasting, prepare the Madeira sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots to the butter and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Pour in the Madeira wine and bring it to a boil, allowing it to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the beef stock and rosemary to the saucepan. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 2 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Once the steaks have finished cooking, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Cut off the kitchen twine.
Serve the bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin with a generous drizzle of Madeira sauce. Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
