Bacon-Wrapped Filets with Scotched Mushrooms Recipe
  • Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
  • Yield: 2 Servings
20 10 30

Ingredients

  • 2 bacon strips
  • 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.
