1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the filet mignon from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it cook evenly.
2
Wrap with Bacon
Wrap the bacon strips around the filet mignon, securing them with toothpicks if necessary. This will add flavor and moisture to the steak.
3
Season the Steak
Drizzle olive oil over the steak and season generously with salt and black pepper. Optionally, sprinkle fresh rosemary on top for added flavor.
4
Grill the Steak
Preheat your charcoal grill to high heat. Place the filet mignon on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak.
5
Rest and Serve
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute. Serve with your favorite sides.
