1
Prepare the Filet Mignon
Start by removing the filet mignon from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will help in even cooking.
2
Season the Steak
Once at room temperature, pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the steak.
3
Wrap with Bacon
Take the bacon slices and wrap them around the filet mignon. Start at one end and spiral the bacon around the steak, securing it tightly. You can use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place if necessary.

4
Sear the Steak
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bacon-wrapped filet mignon. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy and the steak is browned.
5
Finish Cooking
After searing, reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).
6
Rest the Steak
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the steak to a plate. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute.
