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
- Preheat oven to 420°F (220°C).
- Wrap each steak with a strip of bacon and secure with toothpicks.
- 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.
- Sear steaks for 1 minute per side until browned. (Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning).
- Add minced garlic and rosemary sprigs to the pan.
- Add butter to the pan.
- Flip steaks and continue searing for 1 minute per side. Total searing time should be 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness.
- Remove skillet from oven and let steaks rest for 2 minutes before removing toothpicks.
- Remove rosemary sprigs and garlic from the pan, leaving the flavorful oil and bacon drippings.
- Pour red wine into the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Simmer the red wine sauce over low heat until slightly reduced and thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add any accumulated juices from the resting steaks to the sauce.
- Slice steaks and serve over the red wine reduction sauce.
- 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!
