Ingredients

• 4 pieces Beef tenderloin steaks (about 2 inches thick each)
• 8 slices Thinly sliced bacon
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Shallots, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Madeira wine
• 0.5 cup Beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 4 pieces Kitchen twine

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Season each beef tenderloin steak with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Wrap each steak with two slices of bacon, overlapping slightly to cover the sides. Secure with kitchen twine to hold the bacon in place.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the bacon-wrapped tenderloins for 2-3 minutes per side until the bacon is crisp and the meat has a nice golden crust.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steaks reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or your preferred doneness.

Step 6

While the steaks are roasting, prepare the Madeira sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the chopped shallots to the butter and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 8

Pour in the Madeira wine and bring it to a boil, allowing it to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Add the beef stock and rosemary to the saucepan. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 2 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Once the steaks have finished cooking, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Cut off the kitchen twine.

Step 12

Serve the bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin with a generous drizzle of Madeira sauce. Garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
