Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignons




Source of Recipe


Quick Cooking


List of Ingredients




4 T unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 T minced fresh parsley
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1 medium garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper
4 slices bacon
4 center-cut filet mignons, each about 1½ inches thick
4 tsp olive oil

Recipe



With fork, beat butter, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, ¼ tp salt, and ¼ tsp pepper together in small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Wrap 1 bacon slice around each filet, overlapping ends and securing ends to filet with toothpick. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position, place rimmed baking sheet on rack, and heat oven to 450°.
Heat 2 tsp oil in medium skillet over high heat just until smoking. Sprinkle filets with salt and pepper. Place 2 filets in skillet and cook, without moving, until browned and nice crust has formed, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, turn filets and cook on second side, 2½ minutes longer. Hold filets on their sides and crisp bacon slightly all around. Set filets aside on plate. Heat remaining 2 tsp oil in empty skillet and sear remaining 2 filets.
Transfer all 4 seared filets to preheated baking sheet in oven. Roast 4 to 6 minutes for rare, 6 to 8 minutes for merium-rare, or 8 to 10 minutes for medium. Transfer filets to large plate, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Spoon some parsley-lemon butter onto each filet. Serve.
