Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Filet mignon steaks
- 2 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap each filet mignon with a slice of thick-cut bacon, securing the bacon with 2 toothpicks per steak.
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Form the mixture into a small log shape, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate while preparing the steaks.
Heat a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Season both sides of the filet mignon with the remaining salt and black pepper.
Once the skillet is hot, sear the steaks on each side for 2-3 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Transfer the skillet with the steaks to the preheated oven and cook for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if preferred.
Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks after resting.
Slice the compound butter and place a piece on top of each steak to melt slightly.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
