Try bacon wrapped fillet mignons for a gourmet meal you will never forget

Filet Mignon is cut from the center portion of the tenderloin and is both the leanest and the tenderest cut of steak. Even on it’s own if it is cooked properly it is moist and tender. Bacon wrapped fillet mignons are even more so that way. When the bacon is wrapped around them before cooking it acts as a seal keeping in all of the natural juices and adding some flavor and oil as it cooks. This adds an interesting smoky taste to the meat and keeps it moist and succulent during the cooking process. Bacon wrapped fillet mignons are almost the top of the line when it comes to beef steak and how it is prepared.

You need to be careful when you buy Bacon wrapped fillet mignons and watch how it is weighed. If you are buying a six ounce one then you may actually be only getting 5 ounces of beef and one ounce of bacon. You will pay for 6 ounces of steak. Many people would rather buy the fillet and bacon separately and wrap it themselves. This is much more economical and is really very simple. You only need to wrap the slice of bacon around the outside of the steak and secure it with a toothpick.

There are suppliers on the Internet that will ship bacon wrapped fillet mignons to you if you place an order through their web page. It can also be ordered through mail order and be delivered frozen right to your door. It is very easy to keep a supply on hand all of the time.
