Ingredients
- 2 pieces Filet mignon steaks
- 2 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces Toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wrap each filet mignon with a slice of thick-cut bacon, securing the bacon with 2 toothpicks per steak.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Form the mixture into a small log shape, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate while preparing the steaks.
Step 4
Heat a cast-iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
Season both sides of the filet mignon with the remaining salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Once the skillet is hot, sear the steaks on each side for 2-3 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Step 7
Transfer the skillet with the steaks to the preheated oven and cook for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if preferred.
Step 8
Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks after resting.
Step 9
Slice the compound butter and place a piece on top of each steak to melt slightly.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
