Step 1

Par-cook the bacon:

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lay 2 slices of bacon on the foil.

Step 3

Cook the bacon in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the fat is starting to render and the bacon is getting some color but is still pliable.

Step 4

Allow the bacon to cool completely.

Step 5

Meanwhile, season all sides of the filet steaks with salt and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 6

When the bacon has cooled, wrap the edges of the steak with the strips of bacon and secure with toothpicks.

Step 7

Sear the steaks:

Step 8

Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Add the bacon wrapped steaks into the preheated pan and sear them for 60 to 90 seconds until a good crust forms.

Step 10

If you like your bacon extra crispy, roll the sides of the steak on the surface of the pan so each piece of bacon gets an extra blast of heat and a nice crust.

Step 11

Cook in the oven:

Step 12

Using tongs, flip the steaks and carefully transfer the hot skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 13

Allow the steaks to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, until steaks reach an internal temperature of 125 to 130°F with a digital meat thermometer. Times will change based on the thickness of your steaks.

Step 14

Rest and serve:

Step 15

Remove the bacon-wrapped steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a clean cutting board.

Step 16

Top with butter and tent loosely with foil, and allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 17

Remove the toothpicks and serve the steaks immediately with your favorite side dishes or steak sauce.
