Filet mignon is always a fantastic choice for celebratory meals and special occasions. These steaks are cut from the beef tenderloin, a lean primal cut that’s prized for its beefy flavor. Unlike other types of steak<\/a> which require marinating or tenderizing, filet mignon boasts a tender texture right out of the packaging. While you don’t need to do much to make filet mignon taste great, everything is better with bacon, and steak is no exception! Bacon-wrapped steak boasts an elegant, restaurant-style aesthetic.<\/p>\n The bacon isn\u2019t just there for show, either. As the bacon cooks, its fat renders onto the steak, giving it a savory, rich and slightly smoky flavor. That rendered fat has a second benefit for the steak. Since filet mignon is a lean cut, it doesn’t have the fat content of other steaks, and it can quickly dry out and become chewy if overcooked. Bacon adds a protective fat layer to the steak, locking in moisture and keeping the meat tender and juicy as it cooks.<\/p>\n When you’re ready for more bacon, check out our collection of bacon-wrapped recipes<\/a> so you can experience the glory of pork from breakfast through dinner.<\/p>\n Preheat the air fryer to 350\u00b0F. Place the bacon strips in a single layer in the air-fryer basket. Cook until partially cooked but not crisp, three to four minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Filet mignon steaks cook quickly, so we partially cook the bacon to ensure that it will fully cook later. If you don\u2019t want to use the air fryer for this step, you can cook the bacon on a microwave-safe plate lined with paper towels. Microwave on high for two to three minutes, until partially cooked.<\/p>\n Increase the air fryer temperature to 375\u00b0. Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper. Wrap a strip of bacon around the side of each steak, and secure the bacon in place with toothpicks.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip<\/em>: You shouldn’t need more than one slice of bacon for each 5-ounce steak. However, if your steaks are larger, you may need to add a second piece of bacon.<\/p>\n Place the steaks in a single layer on a greased tray in the air-fryer basket. Cook until the meat reaches the desired level of doneness, 7 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through.<\/p>\n Test Kitchen Tip:<\/em> Air-fryer cooking times vary dramatically between brands of air fryers. A meat thermometer<\/a> is the best way to know when bacon-wrapped steak is finished. For medium-rare, the thermometer should read 135\u00b0; for medium, 140\u00b0; for medium-well, 145\u00b0.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the mushrooms and thyme in olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter until tender. Remove the skillet from heat. Add the Scotch, stirring to loosen the browned bits from the pan. Stir in the ginger ale, brown sugar, soy sauce and sage.<\/p>\n Return the skillet to the stove. Bring the mushroom sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is reduced by half, three to five minutes. Stir in the remaining tablespoon butter.\u00a0Serve the steaks with the mushroom sauce.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> If the sauce is too thin for your liking, feel free to add a thickener<\/a> like cornstarch.<\/p>\n If you end up with leftover steak, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Before reheating steak<\/a>, let the meat rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Traditional bacon-wrapped steak recipes sear filet mignon in an oven-proof skillet, then transfer it to the oven to finish cooking. The hot pan caramelizes the meat, giving it a crisp exterior. You don\u2019t have to sear the filet for air-fryer bacon-wrapped steak, though. The air fryer works<\/a> by circulating hot air around food with a fan. It’s hotter and provides more concentrated heat than an oven, so it can brown the steak without requiring a searing step.<\/p>\n Bacon-wrapped steak tastes fantastic with a side of buttery mashed potatoes<\/a> or a loaded baked potato<\/a>. Lighten up the meal with crisp vegetables, such as old-fashioned green beans<\/a> or a crunchy tossed salad<\/a>. If you\u2019re serving these steaks with wine, try a bottle of pinot noir for the perfect pairing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got the idea for bacon-wrapped filet mignon when I saw some on sale in the grocery store.

How else can you cook bacon-wrapped filet mignon? <\/h3>Instead of using your air fryer, you can cook bacon-wrapped filets<\/a> in the oven. Start by frying the bacon in a small skillet until partially cooked. Then, preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F and prepare the steak, wrapping each one in a piece of bacon. In an ovenproof skillet, cook each steak in oil over medium-high heat, 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the steaks until the meat reaches desired doneness, about 8-12 minutes. <\/div>
