Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and black pepper according to your preference.
Wrap two slices of bacon around each steak, securing them with toothpicks if needed.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bacon-wrapped filets and sear for about 2 minutes on each side, until the bacon is slightly crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes for medium-rare doneness or adjust the time according to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender and juicy result.
Serve the bacon-wrapped filet mignon steaks garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs. Pair them with your favorite sides like crispy french fries, grilled asparagus, or a crisp green salad.

Notes

To perfect this recipe, keep in mind a few essential tips. First, make sure to use high-quality steaks for the best flavor and tenderness. Additionally, allow the steaks to come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking throughout. When searing the steaks, use a hot skillet to achieve a deliciously caramelized crust. Finally, be mindful of the cooking time to achieve your preferred level of doneness. Pair the meat with your favorite dipping sauces if desired and enjoy!
