GRILLED FILET MIGNON RECIPE INGREDIENTS

* 2 filet mignons medallions
* 2 slices of bacon
* 2 toothpicks
* Olive oil
* Salt and pepper

GRILLED FILET MIGNON RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place filets in kitchen counter and let them come to room temperature (about 30 minutes--your patience will be rewarded). If you have a dog, put the steaks somewhere safe!
2. Pre-heat your grill on medium-high heat. Set it up for direct heat grilling.
3. Wrap a piece of bacon around each filet mignon medallion and secure with a toothpick. Drizzle a little olive oil on both sides of each medallion and salt and pepper each side.
4. Place the meat on the grill and DO NOT MOVE IT. Let it sear for about 3 minutes (for medium rare) with the lid down. After about 3 minutes, lift, turn your steak 90 degrees and then set it back down for another 3 to 4 minutes (again, for medium-rare, a little more if you have to have it more done) again with lid down. ..enjoy the grilled filet mignon !
