- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil 15 ml
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 28 grams

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).

- Wrap each steak with a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
- Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

Notes
Ensure the filet mignon steaks are at room temperature before cooking to ensure even cooking.
Adjust the cooking time in the oven based on the thickness of the steaks and your desired level of doneness.
The bacon not only adds flavor but also keeps the steak moist and juicy.
The garlic herb butter can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
