Ingredients
- 4 5-6 oz Beef Tenderloin Steaks about 1" thick
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 4 slices Bacon thinly sliced
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic peeled
- 4 sprigs Rosemary or thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Remove steaks from the fridge and let them come to room temperature.
- Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and generously both sides with salt and pepper.
- Wrap 1 slice of bacon around the edge of each steak, securing with a toothpick if needed.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil, butter, garlic and rosemary (or thyme).
- Add the bacon wrapped steaks to the hot skillet and sear for about 90 seconds, or until golden brown. Flip over and sear on the other side for another 90 seconds using a spoon to baste the steaks with the butter/oil mixture from the bottom of the pan.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 7-8 minutes, or until steaks reach your desired doneness, testing with a digital thermometer for accuracy.
- Remove the steaks from the oven and allow to rest for 5-7 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
