BACON WRAPPED, FILET MIGNON
Using real thick and smokey bacon really gives this plenty of flavor. It's cooked slow, because of the bacon, and, as a result, the fillet comes out real moist. There's so much flavor in the meat, additional sauce isn't needed. For additional Pictures, please visit: http://www.capnrons.com/R_M_Bacon_Wrapped_Fillet_Mignon.html?ID=RZ_12_2009

Steps:
- 1. Remove any silver skin, and extra fat from the fillets. Wrap a piece of bacon around the outside, and either secure with a toothpick, or wrap with butcher's twine. Don't overlap the bacon by more than 1/4", you want to make sure that the bacon will cook. However, if your using thin bacon, you might want to use 2 pieces to get the extra thickness and flavor. Securing the bacon with toothpicks works, but by tieing the bacon, you're forming a more rounded piece of meat that will look nicer on the plate.
- 2. Oil the meat liberally, dust with the blacken. salt, and pepper, and rub it into both sides of the meat. Se the meat on a platter and place back in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook it. Don't be afraid to use a little more slat than you think you should, it's on the grill and won't end up as strong.
- 3. Cook over a medium hot grill for about 10 minutes per side. Ultimately you want the meat to reach an internal temperature of 110 degrees. If you cook on too hot a fire, the bacon will flame up and you'll end up with burned bacon, and burned meat. The oil on the outside helps the meat to sear (keeping in the juices), and helps keep the meat from sticking to the grill.
- 4. When testing the internal temperature of a thin pieces of meat, be sure to insert the thermometer in from the side.
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!

TEIXEIRA'S PAN-SEARED BACON WRAPPED FILET MIGNON
This is a basic recipe to make bacon wrapped fillet. The searing keeps the meat moist while baking. Note: I prefer a local uncured, applewood smoked bacon. Choose based on preference but try to select a more meaty cut if possible.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Trim the perimeter of the fillets to remove the large segment of fat that's usually present. Be very careful not to remove any meat. When complete, the entire fillet should be considered edible without further trimming based on your (guest's) preference.
- Cut the fillets into small, round steaks 2-3" in diameter. Each fillet should yield 2 to 3 fillets.
- Add the butter to a 12", oven safe skillet and begin to melt over low heat.
- Tightly wrap each fillet with one slice of bacon, pinning the bacon to the fillet where the bacon overlaps itself with a single toothpick.
- Add a small dash of salt and pepper to taste on top of each fillet. Flip and repeat.
- Increase the heat under the skillet to medium and then add the fillets.
- Cook for two minutes to sear the meat. Flip the fillets and sear the other side for 1-2 minutes. If possible, very gently nudge the fillets against the edge of the pan just enough to make contact to help sear the bacon during this time. DO NOT squeeze the fillets!
- (Optional) Add just a few crumbles of blue cheese to the top of each steak. Don't overdo this; blue cheese is strong and not the centerpiece of this dish.
- Immediately remove the entire skillet and place it in the oven for 7-10 minutes. This can vary depending on the thickness of the steaks (assumes about 1") and wellness preference. I prefer to err on the side of rare for these small steaks. You can always heat them further.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the fillets to sit for 2 minutes before you move them. This allows time for the juice to re-absorb.
- Gently remove the steaks from the skillet, and then the toothpicks from the steak. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- 1. Sauce: In a large frying pan heat oil over high heat. Add onions and lower the heat to medium. Add salt and pepper, mix thoroughly. Sweat onions down for about 15 minutes stirring often. You want the onions very soft. Add sugar and reduce heat to low. Mix well and cook 5-10 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed. Add balsamic vinegar. Mix well and cook for 20-40 minutes until sauce becomes a dark rich syrup. Steak: Pre-heat ove to 450 degrees. Heat oil in an oven proof skillet. (Metal or cast iron.) Wrap a piece of bacon around each filet, secure with toothpick if needed. Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Sear each side of filets about 2 minutes. Place skillet in oven and bake 10 minutes. Steakes will be medium rare. (8 minutes for rare. 12 minutes for medium.) Remove filets from skillet. Allow to rest 1-2 minutes. Pour warm onions over top and serve. I like to serve this with my Twice-Baked Alfredo Potatoes and Roasted Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto. Salad and garlic bread on the side. *Remember to use heavy hot pads (or several) when taking skillet out of oven! Handle will be VERY hot!
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use the best quality filet mignon and bacon you can find. Look for filet mignon that is well-marbled and bacon that is thick-cut and has a good smoky flavor.
- Season the filet mignon generously: Don't be afraid to season the filet mignon with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Wrap the filet mignon tightly with bacon: Make sure that the bacon is wrapped tightly around the filet mignon so that it doesn't unravel during cooking.
- Cook the filet mignon over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bacon from burning and the filet mignon from overcooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the filet mignon is cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the filet mignon should be 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-well.
- Let the filet mignon rest before serving: This will help to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
