BACON-WRAPPED FILET MIGNON WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE
This is Cook's Illustrated method of cooking a filet mignon. If you're cooking for someone who insists on well-done steaks, use a thinner cut of meat. I recently cut small steaks from a petite fillet and cooked in this manner and they were fantastic . . . so cute too!

Steps:
- Sauce:.
- At least two hours prior, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, mustard and lemon juice; cover and place in refrigerator.
- Steak:.
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position, place rimmed baking sheet or cast iron griddle on oven rack, and heat oven to 450 degrees.
- When oven reaches 450 degrees, heat 10-inch heavy-bottomed skillet (not nonstick) over high heat on stovetop until very hot, about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rub each side of steaks with 1/2 teaspoon oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- Wrap 1 slice bacon around circumfrence of each filet, overlapping ends and securing to meat with toothpick.
- Place steaks in skillet and cook, without moving steaks, until well-browned and a nice crust has formed, about 3 minutes.
- Turn steaks with tongs and cook until well-browned and a nice crust has formed on second side, about 3 minutes longer. (watch carefully).
- Hold filets on their sides briefly with tongs in skillet to crisp bacon slightly.
- Remove pan from heat, and use tongs to transfer steaks to hot baking sheet in oven (which has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking oil).
- Roasting times:.
- Very Rare: 2 to 4 minutes (center of steaks will appear cherry red and feel very soft and loose when cut with tip of paring knife),.
- Rare: 4 to 6 minutes (centers will appear red and soft),.
- Medium Rare: 6 to 8 minutes (centers will appear pink and feel firm but juicy).
- Medium: 8 to 10 minutes (centers will appear light pink and feel firm and compact).
- Transfer steaks to large plate; loosely tent with foil, and let rest about 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with horseradish sauce.
