Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Steak

  • Beef Tenderloin
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Steak

  1. Preheat oven to 420°F (220°C).
  2. Wrap each steak with a strip of bacon and secure with toothpicks.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when it shimmers and moves easily around the pan.
  4. Sear steaks for 1 minute per side until browned. (Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning).
  5. Add minced garlic and rosemary sprigs to the pan.
  6. Add butter to the pan.
  7. Flip steaks and continue searing for 1 minute per side. Total searing time should be 3 minutes per side.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness.
  9. Remove skillet from oven and let steaks rest for 2 minutes before removing toothpicks.
  10. Remove rosemary sprigs and garlic from the pan, leaving the flavorful oil and bacon drippings.
  11. Pour red wine into the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  12. Simmer the red wine sauce over low heat until slightly reduced and thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  13. Add any accumulated juices from the resting steaks to the sauce.
  14. Slice steaks and serve over the red wine reduction sauce.
  15. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
