Filet Mignon

Ingredients

• 4 beef medallions (about 80 g each)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Pepper (freshly ground)
• Salt
• 4 slices breakfast bacon

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 200°C with fan and top heat.

   Rub the beef medallions all over with olive oil. Season with pepper and salt, then wrap each with a slice of bacon. Tie with kitchen twine and shape into a tight bundle.
