Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Filet mignon steaks
- 2 pieces Smoked bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 piece Garlic clove, minced
- 2 pieces Toothpicks or kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil on all sides.
Season the steaks generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Wrap one strip of bacon tightly around the edge of each filet, overlapping slightly. Secure the bacon with a toothpick or kitchen twine.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic and rosemary leaves. Sprinkle this herb mixture evenly over the top of the steaks.
Place the bacon-wrapped filets on the preheated grill. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Rotate occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent the bacon from burning.
After cooking, remove the filets from the grill and transfer them to a plate. Tent the steaks loosely with foil and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Remove the toothpicks or twine before serving. Plate the filets and serve them hot with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes.
