How to Make Bacon Filet Mignon

Pat the filet mignon dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Wrap each filet tightly with 4-6 slices of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat. The pan should be screaming hot before adding the steak.
Sear the bacon-wrapped filet mignon for 3-4 minutes per side, until the bacon is crispy and the meat is nicely browned.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the pan.
Baste the filet with the butter mixture for 5-7 minutes, rotating occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium).
Remove the filet from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Discard toothpicks.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
