Picture this: You’re about to create the most mouthwatering, jaw-dropping Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignon with Garlic Herb Butter that’ll make your dinner guests think you secretly graduated from culinary school! Trust me, ladies and gents, this recipe is about to become your new go-to for those “I need to impress someone” moments.
Let me tell you, the first time I made this for my boyfriend (now husband), he literally proposed the following week! 😉 Coincidence? I think not!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 4 filet mignon steaks (about 6 oz each)
– 8 slices of thick-cut bacon
– 4 tbsp butter, softened
– 4 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
– 1 tbsp fresh thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tbsp olive oil
Okay queens and kings, let’s get cooking! 👩🍳
First things first, take those steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking – we’re not savages who cook cold meat! While you’re waiting, mix that softened butter with garlic, rosemary, and thyme. (Pro tip: make extra herb butter, you’ll thank me later!)
Now, wrap each filet with two bacon slices, securing with toothpicks. Season generously with salt and pepper – don’t be shy with it!

Heat that olive oil in a cast-iron skillet until it’s smoking hot. Place those beautiful bacon-wrapped babies in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Top each steak with a generous dollop of that heavenly herb butter and let it melt into pure deliciousness.
Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes – I know it’s torture, but trust your girl on this one! Remove the toothpicks, and voilà! You’ve just created a restaurant-worthy meal that’ll have everyone begging for seconds.
I love serving this with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus, but honey, you do you!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved my dinner parties. It’s literally foolproof, and the presentation? _chef’s kiss_
