Filet Mignon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filet Mignon

    Season the filet mignon steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Wrap each steak with two strips of bacon, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steaks

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bacon-wrapped steaks to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.

  3. 3

    Add Flavors

    Add minced garlic and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Continue to cook, basting the steaks with the oil and juices for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish Cooking

    For medium-rare, remove steaks when they reach an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C). Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
