Perfect Char-Grilled Filet Mignon

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 2

Ingredients

One 8-ounce bottle zesty Italian salad dressing
2 beef tenderloin fillets, 1 1/2–2 inches thick
2 slices bacon
2 tablespoons Lea and Perrins Steak Sauce
2 teaspoons water

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pour the salad dressing into a shallow pan, place the steaks in the pan, and let them marinate for 3 to 4 hours.

    Step 2

    Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill. Wrap a strip of bacon around each steak, securing it with a toothpick. Grill the steaks over hot coals for about 8 minutes per side (5 minutes per side for rare). Baste with a mixture of steak sauce and water. For perfect steaks, turn them only once.
