Bacon Wrapped Filet Medallions Recipe

Directions for Preparing Bacon Wrapped Filet Medallions

1. 1

   Prepare the Filet Medallions

   Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is preheating, season the filet mignon medallions with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.

2. 2

   Wrap the Bacon

   Take each seasoned filet medallion and wrap it with two strips of bacon. Ensure that the bacon overlaps slightly to fully cover the filet. Secure the bacon with toothpicks if necessary.

3. 3

   Sear the Medallions

   In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, place the bacon-wrapped filet medallions in the skillet. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy and browned.

4. 4

   Add Rosemary and Butter

   Once seared, add the fresh rosemary and butter to the skillet, spooning the melted butter over the medallions for added flavor.

5. 5

   Finish in the Oven

   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the filet medallions for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or adjust the time according to your preferred doneness.

6. 6

   Rest and Serve

   Once cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the oven and let the medallions rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks if used and serve with your choice of sides.
