Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon

Ingredients

• Filet Mignon, 2 pieces (small, about 0.4 pound each)
• Bacon, 6 pieces ( 3 pieces per steak, you can use less or more)

Directions

1. Wrap a piece of bacon around the side of the steak.
2. Wrap the second piece of bacon around the steak, make sure it wraps around the ends of the first piece of bacon, ie hide the ends of the first bacon inside.
3. Then wrap the third piece of bacon around the meat, and hide the ends of the second bacon inside the third piece.
4. This is kind of tricky because the bacon may fall off if you don't seal the edges carefully. Use a toothpick to pin it in.
5. Start the grill, or you can cook it in a frying pan.
6. Put the side with the ends of the bacon facing down first. In this way, the weight of the steak will press down the edges to stay in place.
7. The cooking time varies according to how you like your steak cooked.
8. For medium cook it for about 6 minutes on one side. Then flip it over and cook it for another 6 minutes. Take it out of the heat, let it rest for three minutes or so.
9. You can sprinkle a little bit of pepper while it is being cooked.
10. Serve hot. Tasty grilled with shrimp as well to make it surf and turf.
