Presidential Steak

A steakhouse meal without a pricey steakhouse tab is easy as can be with Mr. Food's elegant Presidential Steak recipe for filet mignon that won't break the bank.

Serves: 4

Preparation Time: 5 min

Cooking Time: 15 min

Ingredients

4 (6- to 8-ounce) 1-1/4-inch filet mignon steaks

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 slices bacon

Dijon Herb Butter:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

1/8 teaspoon cracked peppercorns

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, make the Dijon Herb Butter by combining butter, mustard, parsley, and cracked peppercorns. Mix until combined then place in a crock and chill until ready to use.

2. Preheat broiler. Season steaks with salt and pepper.

3. In a large skillet, slightly cook bacon over medium-high heat until lightly browned, but not crisp. Wrap 1 slice of bacon around each steak and secure with a wooden toothpick.

4. Place steaks on a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet and broil 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness beyond that. Remove toothpicks and serve with a scoop of Dijon Herb Butter topping each steak.
