When it comes to filets we all know that they do not need any assistance in the flavor department. But, there is something about adding bacon that makes it just that much better!

The reason it makes it that much better is because the filet itself contains very little fat as opposed to other cuts. So, when bacon is wrapped around it, it lets all of their fats and smoky goodness soak into the meat making it better than it already is. It also locks in extra flavors and moisture. So, double the meat = double the flavor.

If you are in search of a restaurant quality meal without having to leave the house this recipe is right up your alley. It is perfect for almost any occasion. Whether you are looking to celebrate something special or just enhance your at home dinners, this recipe will deliver the results you are looking for. You truly can make this just as good, if not better at a fraction of the cost!

Bacon is not the only secret to making this extra flavorful. Marinating these in my homemade steak sauce before hand, plus topping it with a simple butter slice at the end at the two combinations that gives it that extra explosion on your palate upon the first bit and every bite after that.

I paired the protein with simple husks on corn on the cob. I grilled them at the same time for an easy one stop shop meal. It is the easiest corn on the cob that is brushed with just two ingredients: butter and garlic powder. I opted to use garlic powder this time as opposed to minced garlic so the powder would stick and cook on the cobs better. It is a sweet, buttery, garlicky and crunchy side that pairs perfectly with your grilled steak.

Pretty Plate Tips and Tricks: 

• I like to open the husks and remove all of the middle corn silk that is inside the cob. So, I carefully peel back the layers and then I remove the insides, then close it back up before I soak.
• Soak the corn for a minimum for 30 minutes prior to cooking to avoid the husks burning or catching fire. Once they are done soaking, pat dry with a paper towel.
• Have toothpicks on hand. I secure the bacon that is wrapped around the steak with one toothpick. No need to soak them, I just rinsed with water prior.
• Topping your steak with a butter square when done cooking is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
• Basting, basting, basting! Make sure to basting both steaks with the steak sauce and corn with the butter mixture throughout the cooking process, it truly helps enhance the flavor.
• I also served this with white jasmine rice on the side and it was perfection!
