Bacon Wrapped Filets
Beef tenderloin cut in 1 1/2 “ filets
Sliced bacon
Olive oil
Butter
Preheat oven to 425°.
Wrap each filet with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. If using thick bacon, partially cook bacon before wrapping.
Heat a heavy skillet on medium high heat. Add some olive oil and butter. Sear the filets on one side about a minute or two until you get good browning. Do not crowd in the pan so when you turn the filets there is a fresh section of pan to get a good sear.
Once browned, move skillet to oven until filets reach desired internal temperature:
Rare 125°
Medium rare 130° - 135°
Medium 135° - 140°
Medium well 140° - 150°
Well 155° +
Let filets rest for at least 5 minutes before serving
