Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 20 min.

Grill 4 slices belly (streaky) bacon (thinly sliced) in the oven at 390°F (200°C), for about 20 minutes until nicely browned and leave the oven on afterwards.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - 4 min.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan on high heat.

When really hot, add the filet mignon (after seasoning with salt and pepper) and fry briefly until browned all over.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Take the filet mignon out of the frying pan and split open by slicing across the middle, but do not cut right through the far side.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Fill with strips of bacon...

Stage 5 - 3 min.

...some chopped parsley and thin shavings of cheese.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Fold the meat back over the filling and tie firmly in place with string to avoid it opening up during cooking.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Put in the oven on a roasting dish, baking tray or even in the pan, if this can go in the oven.

Stage 8 - 20 min.

Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes.

Stage 9

Undo the string, then serve in thick slices with your choice of accompaniment.

Remarks

For the cheese, I reccommend Gruyère or, better still, Comté, but you can use whatever you prefer, of course.

Keeping: Should be eaten immediately.
