Recipe Summary Filet Mignon With Bacon Cream Sauce

Amazing, easy-to-make filet mignons with a bacon cream sauce.

Ingredients | How To Properly Cook Filet Mignon

4 (4 ounce) filet mignon (beef tenderloin)

1 teaspoon olive oil

3 slices bacon, chopped

1 tablespoon butter

4 shallots, diced

¼ cup half-and-half cream

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Brush the filets with olive oil, and cook on the preheated grill to desired doneness (about 4 minutes per side for medium rare). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Set the steaks aside on a platter tented with aluminum foil to rest.

While the steaks are resting, prepare the sauce: cook and stir the chopped bacon in a small saucepan over medium heat until the bacon pieces are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and shallots, and cook and stir until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes more.

Stir in the half-and-half, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve over the steaks.

You can also cook the filets on a hot skillet instead of grilling them, if you like.
