BACON WRAPPED FILET WITH BLEU CHEESE BUTTER. RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Bacon Wrapped Filet with Bleu Cheese Butter. Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-25087

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (5-ounce) beef filet mignons
2 slices bacon
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, coarsely ground
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 ounces bleu cheese
1/2 pound asparagus

Steps:

  • Begin by preheating a cast iron skillet on high heat. While the pan is heating, wrap each filet with bacon and secure with a toothpick. Dry off both sides of the filets and season with a heavy pinch of salt and pepper. The pan is ready to cook when you can barely hold a hand 3" above the surface for more than a few seconds. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and allow to melt. Sear the steaks on one side for 1-2 minutes (watch for burning). Flip the steaks and sear for another 1-2 minutes. This takes extra effort, but I think it's worth it: hold each steak with a pair of tongs to sear the bacon on the edge of the steak. When done, turn off the heat (but keep the pan on the burner) and tent the pan with aluminum foil. Meanwhile, mash together the butter and blue cheese in a small bowl. Add a big pinch of pepper. After the steaks have been resting in the pan for 5-7 minutes, move them to a plate and recover with foil. Turn the heat back on the pan and sear the asparagus very quickly, 3 minutes should produce char spots and a perfect crisp-tender texture. Remove the toothpicks, and serve the steaks and asparagus spears topped with dollops of the bleu cheese butter.

Tips:

  • Use thick-cut bacon: It will hold up better to wrapping and cooking.
  • Trim the fat from the filets: This will help prevent them from curling up as they cook.
  • Season the filets generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Wrap the filets tightly with bacon: This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the filets over medium heat: This will help prevent the bacon from burning.
  • Baste the filets with the melted butter: This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the filets to your desired doneness: For medium-rare, cook for about 12 minutes per side. For medium, cook for about 15 minutes per side. For medium-well, cook for about 18 minutes per side.
  • Let the filets rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped filets with smoky bleu cheese are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The bacon adds a crispy, savory flavor to the tender filets, while the smoky bleu cheese adds a creamy, tangy kick. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
