Preparation

Medium

Place the bacon on a plate with a paper towel to absorb the fat, cover it with another towel, and microwave for 2 minutes, just to release some of the fat. Let them cool and wrap them around each filet medallion, securing with a toothpick. Season the filets with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and when hot, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sear the filets on both sides until they are slightly browned and have good color. Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Place the steaks on a baking sheet and right before you are ready to eat, put them in the oven for a few minutes until they reach the desired doneness. Monitor them constantly to avoid overcooking. Let rest for 5 minutes covered with aluminum foil and serve.
