How to Make Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon With Horseradish Sauce

1. **Horseradish Sauce:**
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (adjust to taste), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
4. **Steak Preparation:**
5. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Position oven rack in the lower-middle position.
6. Place a rimmed baking sheet or cast iron griddle on the oven rack.
7. Heat a 10-inch heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat on the stovetop for 3 minutes, until very hot.
8. While the skillet heats, rub both sides of each filet mignon (about 1-inch thick) with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
9. Wrap each filet with 1-2 slices of bacon, overlapping the ends and securing with toothpicks.
10. **Cooking the Filet Mignon:**
11. Carefully place the bacon-wrapped filets in the hot skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until a deep brown crust forms.
12. Using tongs, flip the steaks and cook for another 3 minutes until well-browned on the second side.
13. Briefly hold the filets on their sides in the skillet using tongs to crisp the bacon further.
14. Transfer the steaks to the preheated baking sheet in the oven.
15. **Roasting Times:**
16. * Very Rare: 2-4 minutes
17. * Rare: 4-6 minutes
