Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Slab bacon, cut into 1/8-inch thick, 1-inch wide strips, or 4 strips lightly smoked bacon 1 (20-ounce) beef tenderloin, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch thick tournedos 16 fresh sage leaves Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Place bacon in a saucepan with 4 cups cold water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

Pat tournedos dry. Evenly space four sage leaves along one strip of bacon. Wrap bacon strip around the circumference of one tournedo; tie with kitchen twine. Repeat process with remaining sage, bacon, and beef.

Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat until it starts to smoke. Season tournedos with salt and pepper and place bacon-side-down in skillet. Cook, without moving, until bacon is well charred, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Rotate tournedos a quarter turn and cook until bacon is well charred, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Repeat process two more times until bacon is well charred. Turn tournedos on their flat side and cook, turning once, until medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Transfer tournedos to a platter and let stand for 3 minutes. Remove string and serve.
