2 beef tenderloin steaks (5 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 cups sliced baby portobello mushrooms
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup Scotch whiskey
1/2 cup diet ginger ale
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage

Directions

In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain.
Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper; wrap a strip of bacon around the sides of each steak and secure with toothpicks.
In a small ovenproof skillet coated with cooking spray, cook steaks in 1-1/2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes on each side.
Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 8-12 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute mushrooms and thyme in 1 tablespoon butter and remaining oil until tender; remove from the heat. Add whiskey, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in the ginger ale, brown sugar, soy sauce and sage.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until reduced by half. Stir in remaining butter. Serve with steaks. Yield: 2 servings.

The mushroom sauce was one of the best things I have ever tasted. It wasn't too hard and the only thing that not everyone would have is the scotch. Great recipe!!

The recipe was good, not what I was expecting. I didn't realize how odd the ginger ale was in the recipe until I was making it, it was fizzy and didn't make for a thick sauce; which I prefer. Anything wrapped in bacon tends to be good. Wish I knew what contest this won.. I'd make it again with a more tender cut of beef (not sure which one I used).
