BACON WRAPPED, FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• 1. Remove any silver skin, and extra fat from the fillets. Wrap a piece of bacon around the outside, and either secure with a toothpick, or wrap with butcher's twine. Don't overlap the bacon by more than 1/4", you want to make sure that the bacon will cook. However, if your using thin bacon, you might want to use 2 pieces to get the extra thickness and flavor. Securing the bacon with toothpicks works, but by tieing the bacon, you're forming a more rounded piece of meat that will look nicer on the plate.
• 2. Oil the meat liberally, dust with the blacken. salt, and pepper, and rub it into both sides of the meat. Se the meat on a platter and place back in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook it. Don't be afraid to use a little more slat than you think you should, it's on the grill and won't end up as strong.
• 3. Cook over a medium hot grill for about 10 minutes per side. Ultimately you want the meat to reach an internal temperature of 110 degrees. If you cook on too hot a fire, the bacon will flame up and you'll end up with burned bacon, and burned meat. The oil on the outside helps the meat to sear (keeping in the juices), and helps keep the meat from sticking to the grill.
• 4. When testing the internal temperature of a thin pieces of meat, be sure to insert the thermometer in from the side.

GRILLED BACON-WRAPPED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Combine sugar and 1/2 teaspoons pepper in pie plate. Lay 4 slices bacon on large plate, weigh down with second plate, and microwave on high power until fat is rendered and bacon is slightly shriveled but still pliable, 1-3 minutes. Cool slightly, then dredge one side of rendered bacon in sugar mixture.
• Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each steak with 1 piece sugared bacon overlapping ends, and secure with two toothpicks. For extra bacon flavor, top the bacon-wrapped filet with another slice of raw bacon.
• Heat all burners on high for 15 minutes, then leave primary burner on high and turn other burner(s) to low. Scrape and oil cooking grate. Grill steaks, covered, over cooker side until crisp. Flip steaks and grill, covered, over hotter side of grill until steaks register 125 to130 degrees (for medium-rare), 5-10 minutes. Transfer to plate, tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks, serve crumbling bacon over steaks.

GRILLED BACON WRAPPED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Set up your grill for indirect cooking. If you are using a charcoal grill set up the coals to one side of the grill and preheat it according to manufactures directions.
• Wrap 1 slice of bacon around the edge of each steak and secure it using a toothpick. Season them to taste using garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Place the steaks on the cold side of the grill. This is the side opposite of the coals. Keep the steaks there until they reach 20 degrees from the desired serving temp. If you are going for medium-rare this would be 115 degrees F. You can flip them and rotate them as you like but it is not that important since there is no direct heat on them.
• When you are 20 degrees from your desired serving temp move the steaks to the hot side. Place them right over the coals and drizzle them with olive oil. Flip them to avoid burning and take them off the grill when they reach 10 degrees from the desired serving temp. For medium-rare this would be 125 degrees F.
• Let the steaks rest and the carryover will take them to the final temp.
