Ingredients
- 2 pieces Filet mignon steaks
- 2 pieces Smoked bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 piece Garlic clove, minced
- 2 pieces Toothpicks or kitchen twine
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil on all sides.
Step 3
Season the steaks generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 4
Wrap one strip of bacon tightly around the edge of each filet, overlapping slightly. Secure the bacon with a toothpick or kitchen twine.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic and rosemary leaves. Sprinkle this herb mixture evenly over the top of the steaks.
Step 6
Place the bacon-wrapped filets on the preheated grill. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Rotate occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent the bacon from burning.
Step 7
After cooking, remove the filets from the grill and transfer them to a plate. Tent the steaks loosely with foil and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Remove the toothpicks or twine before serving. Plate the filets and serve them hot with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes.
