Our take on a holiday classic: bacon-wrapped delicious Argentine Beef Filet Mignon, made easy at home. 🥩🎄

RECIPE 👀

1️⃣ Take the beef out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
2️⃣ Trim the clean center of the tenderloin and cut it into thick steaks, about 3 fingers wide. Wrap each steak with bacon and secure with a toothpick.
3️⃣ Cut a thick slice from a potato and turn it into small, even pieces. A small round cookie cutter, whiskey jigger, or melon baller works great to keep them consistent.
4️⃣ Season both the steaks and the potatoes with salt and black pepper.
5️⃣ Heat a very hot cast-iron skillet with a little neutral oil. Add the steaks and potatoes.
6️⃣ For medium, cook the filets 3½–4 minutes per side, then stand them up to crisp the bacon edges.
7️⃣ Lower the heat, add butter (plus garlic and thyme or rosemary if you like), and baste the steaks for 30–40 seconds, gently tossing the potatoes so they cook evenly.
8️⃣ Let the filets rest 5 minutes, loosely covered, while the potatoes finish cooking.
9️⃣ Serve the steak over the potatoes and spoon some of that buttery pan juice on top. Enjoy!
