Variation Ideas

• Bacon – You can cook these tender steaks with different types of bacon.
• Seasoning – We used simple seasoning when cooking steak. Feel Free to add your favorite seasoning. We suggest garlic powder, thyme or any fresh herbs.
• Sauce – Once you remove the steaks from the charcoal grill or gas grill, top with a compound butter. The butter melt as the steaks are resting for delicious flavor.

Step by Step Instructions

• Step 1 – Prepare the Grill – First preheat your grill to medium high heat or 450 degrees F.
• Step 2 – Wrap Filet in Bacon – Wrap a slices of bacon around each of the filets and secure the bacon onto the meat with a toothpick.

• Step 3 – Season Filet Mignons – Then season both sides of the filets with the salt and pepper.
• Step 4 – Oil the Grill grates – Rub the grill grates with extra virgin olive oil to prevent the sticks from sticking.
• Step 5 – Grill Steaks – Place the steaks on direct heat and sear them for 5-10 minutes per side with the lid on the grill closed.
• Step 6 – Flip Steaks – Then flip the juicy steak to their sides to grill the bacon around the outside of the steaks slightly. Grill for about 15-30 seconds per side until the bacon is crispy.

• Step 7 – Check Steaks Temperature for doneness – Then check the internal temperature of the steak with an meat thermometer to check the temperature of the steaks.
• Step 8 – Continue Cooking – If the steak is not to the temperature that you prefer then continue to cook for additional time until the internal temperature is the preference that you prefer.
• Step 9 – Let Steak Rest – Remove the steak from the grill and let the steak rest to room temperature for 3-5 minutes, then slice, serve and enjoy.

How long should I grill Filet Mignon?
