A quick and easy recipe for juicy filet mignon wrapped in crispy bacon and topped with flavorful garlic herb butter, perfect for special occasions or a delicious weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 filet mignon steaks, about 6 oz (170 g) each, trimmed and patted dry (around 1.5 inches thick)
  • 4 strips thick-cut bacon
  • 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for the garlic herb butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, plus a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a tiny squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Set aside.
  3. Wrap each filet with one strip of bacon, stretching the bacon slightly and wrapping it snugly around the steak. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Season the outside generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in your skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the bacon-wrapped filets. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until the bacon starts to crisp and the steak develops a golden-brown crust. Avoid moving the meat too much.
  5. Transfer the skillet (or move steaks to an ovenproof dish) and roast in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare (internal temp about 130°F/54°C). Adjust time for preferred doneness.
  6. Remove steaks from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  7. Top each filet with a generous dollop of garlic herb butter and let it melt over the warm steak.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking to keep it juicy. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness for perfect medium-rare at 130°F (54°C). Wrap bacon tightly to ensure crispiness and juiciness. If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, transfer steaks to a baking sheet for roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan during searing.
