Equipment
- Cast Iron Pan
Ingredients
- 4 10 oz filet mignons
- 3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 8 slices bacon
- 3 tbsp olive oil; divided
- ¼ cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic; peeled and crushed
- 4 small sprigs of rosemary
Instructions
- Remove steaks from refrigerator 60 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature. This helps the steaks cook more evenly and creates juicer results.
- Pat the steaks dry and season all sides with the salt and pepper, pressing it into the steaks so the salt and pepper sticks; set aside. It is best to season the steaks as soon as you remove them from the refrigerator.
- Place bacon strips in a baking tray. Bake the bacon for 6-10 minutes until the strips are beginning to turn golden but are still pliable.
- Using two bacon strips per steak, wrap the steak completely with the bacon. Here you can help yourself with some toothpicks.
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet until smoking, then add the steaks. Sear the filets for 2 minutes, flip, and then add the garlic, butter, and rosemary. Adding these ingredients after flipping prevents them from burning. Cook an additional 2 more minutes, tilting the skillet as needed and basting the steaks with the melted butter.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook to your liking, then transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 2-5 minutes. Serve warm and juicy with your favorite side dish.
