Butterball Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon
What it is
This is a pre-portioned cut of beef tenderloin, also known as filet mignon, that has been wrapped in strips of bacon. The bacon is typically raw and intended to be cooked along with the steak. It offers a combination of tender, lean beef and the savory, salty flavor of bacon, creating a richer taste and a more decadent presentation. It is designed for convenience, providing a restaurant-style dish ready for home preparation.
How people cook with it
This product is ideal for special occasions or when you want to elevate a weeknight meal with minimal effort.
- Pan-seared for a quick dinner
- Baked in the oven
- Grilled for smoky flavor
- Served with a side of vegetables
To prepare, remove the filet mignon from its packaging. You can cook it directly from refrigerated. For best results, sear the wrapped steak in a hot skillet with a little oil for a few minutes on each side until the bacon is nicely browned and the steak has a good crust. Then, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven or continue cooking on lower heat on the stovetop until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. Allow it to rest before slicing.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike a plain filet mignon, this version includes bacon, which adds fat and flavor during cooking. The bacon bastes the steak as it renders, contributing to a moister and more savory final product. It also provides a crispy texture that complements the tender beef.
