Seared Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon Recipe Video
Chef Dave Banks of Harry's Savoy Grill makes a tornedo, which is a smaller, sliced portion of a filet mignon.
Ingredients
3 6 oz center cut filet mignon (tornedos, smaller, sliced portion of tenderloin)
For Spring:
Use seasonal vegetables, lightly cooked at the last minute, a splash of vermouth and fresh herbs.
For Summer:
Use Maine lobster, a creative mint crema (lightly whipped unsweetened cream) with a good pinch of salt.
For Fall: Use wild mushrooms and a good red wine for making the pan sauce.
Directions
Each of the three preparations are similar regarding the beef with the exception of the fall preparation where I use the richness and comfort of Applewood smoked bacon which creates a little more fat and allows for a pan roasting technique of turning, basting and deglazing for the reduction sauce. Season the filets. Use a minimum of olive oil and a nice hot pan. Do not rush the turn. Create a good sear, maybe turning twice.
