Bacon Wrapped Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steaks

   Take the filet mignon and sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps in even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steaks

   Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh herbs (rosemary and thyme) evenly over both sides of the filet and sirloin steaks. Rub the seasonings into the meat for better flavor absorption.

3. 3

   Wrap with Bacon

   Take 2 bacon strips for each steak. Starting at one end, wrap the bacon around the steak, overlapping slightly as you go. Secure the ends with toothpicks if necessary.

4. 4

   Preheat the Pan

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Ensure the pan is hot enough to sear the meat.

5. 5

   Sear the Steaks

   Place the bacon-wrapped steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy and the steaks are browned. Use tongs to turn the steaks gently.

6. 6

   Finish Cooking

   Reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).

7. 7

   Rest the Steaks

   Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Serve

   After resting, remove the toothpicks if used, slice the steaks if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious bacon-wrapped filet and sirloin!
