Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the filet mignon cooks evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Filet Mignon

    Generously season the 16 oz. filet mignon with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  3. 3

    Wrap with Bacon

    Take 4 slices of bacon and wrap them around the filet, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.

  4. 4

    Heat Olive Oil

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tbs of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Sear the Filet

    Carefully place the wrapped filet mignon in the hot skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy and browned.

  2. 6

    Bake in the Oven

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).

  3. 7

    Add Manchego Cheese

    During the last 2 minutes of baking, place 2 oz. of manchego cheese on top of the filet to melt.

Serving

  1. 8

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the skillet from the oven and let the filet mignon rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
