Bacon-Wrapped Filet With Sauteed Mushrooms on a plate.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Skip heading to a restaurant on Valentine's Day and prepare a special meal at home. This filet mignon is tender and juicy. Once broiled, the bacon crisps slightly and adds a touch of smokiness. What we loved is the wine sauce with fresh mushrooms. It's rich and savory and enhances the filet mignon.

How To Make bacon-wrapped filets with sauteed mushrooms

Test Kitchen Tips

We cooked our filet for 4 minutes, turned, and cooked for another 4 minutes.

Step 1

Trim meat, making two round circles. Gather ingredients.

Step 2

Wash and slice mushrooms. Melt butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Saute mushrooms until soft. Reduce heat to low, continue cooking until butter is almost gone.
Step 3

Then add wine. Let simmer until you're ready to use them.
Step 4

Wrap each circle with 2 overlapping bacon slices and fasten with toothpicks, if necessary. Season each with salt and pepper, both sides.
Step 5

Lower broiler rack to 4" below a broiler (unless you like your steaks rare*), cook steaks to your preference, turning once, making sure the bacon is browned. (*if you like your steaks pretty rare, no need to lower the broiler rack, basically you just wanna cook the bacon and sear the tops.)
Step 6

When steaks are done, plate and cover with the sauteed mushrooms. ENJOY!!
