The easiest, yet most delicious filet you will ever eat.
I can’t even with this steak recipe! Filet Mignon is my favorite cut of meat. It’s also expensive, but in this case, we don’t care about that. We are talking about how easy it is to make a delicious filet dinner at home.
If you were to go out to dinner and get this meal, it would cost twice as much so it’s actually considered cheap for this particular dish. Yay!
It doesn’t get any easier to make this filet. Simply drizzle some olive oil on it, salt and pepper it and then it wrap it in a good, thick-cut piece of bacon. I grilled these bad boys for 5-7 minutes on both sides over medium-high. For a more well-done steak, add a minute or two.
I also made sure I bought GOOD steaks. Costco has great filets – you can buy the package and freeze them. Or you can go to your local butcher and get the best cut they have.
Remember – it’s still cheaper than going out to dinner!
The bacon gives the steaks a nice salty and smoky flavor. You could totally marinade the steaks, but I thought it would be too much because…
I made a basil cherry sauce to serve with the steak. OMG this stuff is amazing – it’s amazing over ice cream as well as STEAK!
Who knew?
Plus…I sprinkled some crumbled blue cheese on top – the salty and tangy blue cheese goes SO well with the sweet basil cherry sauce, which is amazing with the salty smoky steak.
Talk about FLAVOR.
I roasted up some brussels sprouts and potatoes to go with the meal – I kept these super simple…olive oil, salt and pepper because again, I didn’t want to overwhelm the dish with too many flavors.
I mean look how gorgeous.
Again…I can’t even with this dish!
