Bacon , Cream Cheese , Filet Mignon , Jalapeno
Ingredients
4 (6 ounce) filet mignon steaks 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian dressing 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese 1/4 cup minced jalapeno pepper 20 slices thinly sliced bacon
Servings: 10 Prep Time: 15 Minutes + Marinating Cook Time: 8 Minutes First of all Filet is just a great piece of beef, but this preparation kicks it out of the park. Great for tailgating or any time. The jalapeno spiked cream cheese stuffed into a bacon wrapped filet strip is fantastic.
Directions
Slice the steaks into 1/2-inch wide strips. Pound the strips to about half their original thickness. Place the steak in a bowl; pour the Italian dressing over the meat; allow to marinate at least 2 hours.
Mix together the cream cheese and jalapeno pepper in a bowl; set aside.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
Remove the strips from the marinade and lay on a flat surface. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on each strip. Fold the meat around the cream cheese mixture to form a ball. Wrap each ball with a slice of bacon. Secure bacon with water-soaked toothpicks or metal skewers.
Cook on preheated grill until steak is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side.
