1
Prepare the Candied Bacon
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy and caramelized. Let it cool and chop into small pieces.
2
Season the Filet Medallions
Pat the filet medallions dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of each filet medallion.

3
Sear the Filets
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the filet medallions to the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your preferred doneness.
4
Combine with Candied Bacon
Once the filet medallions are cooked to your liking, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Top each filet with the chopped candied bacon before serving.
