By á-46334

Simple, delicious, and bacon wrapped. It DOES NOT get better than this! Serve with potatoes and asparagus for a meal you won't forget!

Ingredients

• 2 (8-to10-ounce) filets, 2 inches thick
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Garlic powder, to taste
• 2 thin bacon slices
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Pat each filet dry with paper towels and liberally season both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Wrap each filet with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

In an ovenproof skillet over medium-high, heat the butter and oil. Add the filets and sear until nicely browned on each side, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the filets are medium-rare, about 10 minutes (or longer depending on your preference of doneness).

Remove the pan from the oven and loosely tent with foil. Allow the filets to rest 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
