Ingredients Needed:
- Filet Mignon Steaks
- Thin Sliced Bacon
- Butter
- Parmesan Cheese
- Onion Flakes
- Fresh Rosemary
- Dried Thyme
- Granulated Garlic
- Brown Sugar
- Kosher Salt
- Black Pepper
How to Grill Parmesan Crusted Filet Mignon:
- Prepare a grill fire to 400° with hickory or pecan for smoke flavor.
- Pat steaks dry with a paper towel.
- Wrap a slice of bacon around each steak and secure with a toothpick.
- Brush the steaks with melted butter.
- In a bowl, combine parmesan cheese, onion flakes, rosemary, thyme, garlic, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle mixture over the tops of the steaks, pressing lightly to form a crust.
- Cook steaks over indirect fire with the grill closed for about 8 – 10 minutes.
- Use a digital thermometer to cook to desired doneness. We cooked ours to about 140°.
Internal Temperature for Filet Mignon:
- Rare: 130°
- Medium Rare: 140°
- Medium: 155°
- Remove steaks from the grill and allow to rest about 5 minutes before serving.
The bacon will not be crisp but should be cooked through if the steaks are cooked to medium-rare. The bacon adds additional flavor to the steak and can be eaten with the steak or discarded if you are not a fan of chewy bacon.
How to Store and Reheat:
- Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
- Slice steak and reheat in a skillet coated with melted butter over medium heat, turning to heat from both sides, about 3- 5 minutes.
