Ingredients

1 (8-ounce) bottle zesty Italian salad dressing
5 beef tenderloin fillets, 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick
5 slices bacon
4 teaspoons steak sauce
4 teaspoons water

Directions

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

Delicious!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So easy and so good/ Just make sure you wrap the bacon around the sides of the filet. The first time I made it I wrapped it... around the top and bottom and it burned before the filets were done.Read more

WOW! Got to try this one!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

After making wonderful gourmet style Filet Mignon, this was a real treat! He went back for seconds. This was the first time... I attempted to wrap bacon on anything and I probably needed either longer bacon or three pieces around one. Oh, I guess I was supposed to wrap it PRIOR to cooking because it kept falling off even with the toothpicks, so I joked about it and placed them on top at serving. It tasted so good, he laughed about it with me. THANK YOU. We're bothsmiling when I bring "this is MAMA or maybe Grandma Paula Deen's recipe's" to the table! Your the best! as I bringRead more
