This recipe is very simple and very delicious also. I can prepare it, and I am a 14 year old boy! This recipe only takes a few minutes to prepare and only a bit longer in the broiler. This goes good with some mashed potatoes with butter and green beans with lemon squeezed on top. This is good, trust me!
Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) (1 inch thick) filet mignon steaks
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot
- 2 slices bacon
Directions
Step 1
Place oven rack in its highest position. Set oven to Broil.
Step 2
Rub steaks all over with olive oil. Sprinkle with onion powder, then with salt and pepper. Wrap one slice of bacon around each steak, and secure with a toothpick.
Step 3
Place steaks onto a broiler pan, and broil for 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the steaks over, and sprinkle the tops with shallots. Broil for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked to your liking.

It was soooo easy to make and absolutly wounderful!!
-
Keep up the good work!
-
We made these filets for dinner today and fixed Garlic Baked Potatoes as a side (also found on allrecipes.com). We grilled them instead of broiling them and they turned out great. One thing we didn?t like was the shallots. We thought they were a bit too strong and overpowering. Next time I will just saut? mushrooms and onions to serve with the filets. My husband also thought using butter instead of olive oil would be very good. Thanks for a great recipe.
-
Very good. Came out perfectly done. I was a bit skeptical at first with the broil times, but I was wrong. Tasty.
-
very easy to make…husband loved it!
-
It’s hard for me to rate, since I don’t eat steak, but, made it for my ‘steak loving’ husband. I was worried about it being under the broiler too long, but he thought it was very tasty! So, EASY!! Will be making again when he wants a steak and no one else does.
-
Did not care for the flavor, not appealing to look at.
-
Fabulous!!! I didn’t change a single thing and these filets were so tasty. Very easy.
-
I made these from a tenderloin that I had cut up. Other than omitting the shallots, I didn’t change anything else. This recipe works really well with a good smoked bacon (applewood is my fav). Good job on this recipe!
-
It was very good. I’m not a great cook, so I can appreciate simple yet tasty recipes.
Thanks a lot chef in the making! My family loved your recipe
-
This was delicious. I followed the recipe to a T except that the supermaket was fresh out of shallots so I used green onion and it was fabulous. It didnt look as wonderful as it could of ONLY because I didnt have toothpicks to secure the bacon but I made the most of it by garnishing it with fresh parsley to give it color and served with a side of garlic baked asparagus on a bed of rice pilaf and it looked perfect “Like a restaurant” is what my husband said 🙂
-
Excellent recipe, followed to a T. However, if you are someone who likes onions then definitely double the amount of onions used. It is great!!
-
Thank you so much! My family loved this recipe! The steaks were so tender and juicy. Even our two-year old gobbled it up! I’ve already got more tenderloins in the fridge to make it again.
-
Great!!! Made these for my husband’s b-day dinner last night. Very easy and was a big hit. Thanks
-
lovely and simple!
-
So, so simple and even my picky eater loved it!
And for anyone else trying this recipe… I didn’t use filet mignon, but a similar cut of meat and was out of onion powder and used garlic powder (my family likes garlic better anyway). My local grocery store didn’t have shallots. I used green onions. Sprinkled some of the onions on the meat, sauteed the rest of the stalks with mushrooms and added on top after taking out of the oven.This was so easy to do. Meat was tender, flavorful. I’ll use this recipe again!
-
So simple and so good!
-
This recipe turned out fantastic and was so easy to make. I made it for my husband and teenage daughter and they both loved it. I put a little bit of minced garlic with it (1/8th tsp) and used sea salt from a grinder. The meat comes out a perfect medium at 6 minutes per side. I took a tablespoon of blue cheese per steak and put it on top to melt for the last 1 1/2 minutes. I will definitely be making this again!
-
SOOOO GOOOD!!!! I made this last night for Valentine’s dinner…it was sooo good. I topped it with mushrooms and swiss cheese. Very yummy! Way to go chef in the making!
-
This was so easy and delicous! I used garlic and herb olive oil and my boyfriend loved it. He ate two!
-
I didn’t have shallots so I just bacon wrapped the steaks and sauteed onions and mushrooms in a frying pan. I would never have thought to put olive oil on the steaks so thanks for the tip and the recipe. Delicious.
-
Great way to cook steaks when the grill is under snow! Our steaks were very, very thick, so they needed about 8 minutes per side (for medium rare). Bacon even got a little crispy. Thanks.
-
It’s a very simple and easy recipe. Whoever rated this as a 1 star cannot follow simple instructions. My steak came out the way my husband & I wanted it to be.
-
Easy, quick, basic and delicious. I made it for my boyfriend who really likes simple type cooking and he loved this. So did I. I might try it with melted butter instead of olive oil next time. Thank you!
-
I changed it up a bit, but the steaks turned out so flavorful! Onion powder is such a good idea. I grilled them and didn’t use shallots.
-
This was very good! It’s very easy and simple to make. The ingredients are something that you have on hand.
-
I thought this recipe was great! I made these for my mom & husband last night & we all loved it. I did skip the shallots because my husband hates onions of any kind (although I can sneak onion powder by him). I would make these again!
-
Great recipe! My boyfriend said it was better then any resturaunt! I will definitely be making this again!
-
This was so very simple and the flavor was very good. Our filets were thick, so I cooked them 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
-
If I could give this recipe more stars I would. This was the best steak ever. I made this for my husband and 3 kids and ended only getting 1 bite of my steak bc the kids were fighting for more. On top of that my husband ate 3 by himself. So, needless to say next time I will have to make about 10 for a family of 5 rather than 7. I did add some red pepper to my husbands and he said that the heat was perfect and to all the steaks I added garlic powder. I did crush a couple of garlic cloves and infused it over low heat to the evoo so it would have an extra layer of flavor. I will def make again.
-
Wow! We’ve ruined steaks the last 3 times we cooked them, until this recipe came along. Yum!
-
I made this recipe for the second time and it was better this time… New tip = make sure you take your filet’s temperature to make sure it’s cooked to your liking …..
I cooked this for my boyfriend to celebrate yet another year together. Watch how long you cook this, otherwise 2 thumbs up! -
I have made this three times in the past few months and it has turned out perfect every time.
-
Not impressed. Will not waste a Filet Mignon on this again. Did not tatse bad, but I expect a much better taste that melts in my mouth when I cook Filet Mignon. Very bland.
-
Simply delicious!
-
This was a real easy and tasty recipe. I only wished mine cane out more tender.
-
Fabulous recipe! I used green onions instead of scallots. I’ve made 3 times with filet and new york. Hubby loves this one!
-
I was wary about rubbing the steaks down in oil – and rightly so – the olive oil burnt up in the broiler and smoked up my entire apartment. And while my apartment now smells like steak when I walk in – it wasn’t worth having to throw open all my doors and windows for. Otherwise bacon and shallots were a good addition. Thankfully the oil didn’t burn the steaks and wreck the meal.
-
I just want to salute this young man for his expertise at such a tender age. You will have your own restaurant or cooking show some day, my friend. The steaks were marvelous. Don’t just do this as a hobby. Make it your life’s passion, as you seem to enjoy it so much. Remember this……make a living doing something you would do for nothing, and you will always be happy.
-
This was the best recipe that I have had for fliets in a very long time… Great, simple easy and Delicious!!!! I think the Che’fs on TV now better watch out!!!! If you wish to you definately can have a promising Career as Chef!!! Thanks so much, my MORE THAN PICKY boy frind loves this and that is AMAZING!!!! Good Luck and keep them coming!!
-
I was really happy with this! Definitely let it rest for 1 hr prior to cooking. So easy! I did a separate mushroom shallot sauce w/ white wine instead of putting the shallots on top. One note: 5 mins on each side is quite rare, make sure to do more than 5 mins if you like yours better done!
-
This recipe was fenominal! I didn’t use the shallots but instead did mushrooms and onions. It turned out even better than I had hoped!
-
Very good recipe!I really enjoyed.
-
This was easy and very yummy!! Will definitely make again.
-
Crash course in how to prepare filet mignon! Thank you! I’ll never screw up again!
-
Five stars ‘chef in the making’! Very good! I grilled mine, and sauted the onions with mushrooms. Will make again:)
-
very easy and simple tenderloin turned out perfect and whole family loved it
-
Made these for dinner one night and there was no leftovers.. Thanks
-
Best filet I’ve ever made. I usually murder them! I had the rack on the top rung and the smoke alarm went. Lowered it and they turned out great. Thanks so much for the recipe. I can finally have someone over for a really nice dinner.
-
These were moist and delicious. My smoke alarm went off though! Next time I will lower the rack. Thanks for the recipe and keep up the good work!
-
This came out great! Like another reviewer, I think next time I’m going to lower the rack, cause the bacon was turning a lil too brown! Other than that, it came out very juicy and just enough pink!!! thanks=)
-
It was really good my husband LOVED it! We used Garlic powder instead of the onion powder(we did not have any) But I will try it with the onion powder next time! REALLY good and VERY tender!!
-
I tried this recipe tonight, Filet Mignon was on sale, so I couldn’t pass up the deal – have never made it though! I followed the recipe with the exception of the shallots (kids and hubby not big fans) – came out perfect! My hubby and kids (7,6 and 2 years old) loved it! They said that mommy cooks better than any restaurant!! Very easy and quick. Only thing is that it is a bit messy in the oven, the meat and bacon popped grease everywhere. Thank goodness for self-cleaning ovens!!
-
I tried this method it was just ok a little to bland for our taste
-
Super easy, and tasted wonderful!
-
I wish I could give this more than 5 stars! I used top sirloin steaks because it’s what we had, but it still was the best steak I’ve ever made! I also used garlic powder instead of onion. I have a digital meat thermometer and cooked it until it was 145 degrees in the center for medium rare (our favorite). This is a great way to tell if the meat’s done without cutting into it. Even my picky 3 year old kept saying, “Thank you for making this!”
-
Yummy!
-
I used this reciped for the 1st time and it was a hit with the whole family!! They loved it and can’t wait until ! make it again! Next time, they’d like me to make extra pieces of tenderloin for those who want seconds. Good recipe from the “Chef in the making!” What can you suggest next????????
-
Delicious! Smoky is good!
-
This was very good my husband said he would like me to make this often. And my 3yr old son cleared his plate. The key to this recipe is cooking time. So your steak gets to your desired temperature (rare, medium or well).
-
Good recipe– mine didn’t come out so great, but it was because our oven was broken and I had to try using the toaster oven. Oy!
-
Way to go “Chef in the making”. I think it is wonderful that you are learning to cook. Very good flavor! Pairs nicely with carmelized onion mashed potatoes.
-
I have used this recipe but in a modified version. Instead of broiling it I pan fried it in a hot cast iron skillet. I also made a wine sauce as a dipping sauce or pour it over the filets. Sauce 1 cup of Burgandy Wine (use a good quality wine) cook it down to a 1/4 cup turn off burner and whisk in 2 TBS of ice cold butter. Add a pinch of sea salt and serve with Filet.
-
Bravo! Excellent recipe. Does my heart good to see a 14 yr. old interested in cooking! No matter what you do in life, you’ve got to eat!
-
Since my husband & I like our filets rare & seared…I found the bacon raw inside……so next time I fried the bacon to half cooked then wrapped it round the steak & barBQued..Excellent !
-
It’s a great recipie!! The steaks came out tender and very flavorful. Thank you! I didn’t use the onion powder because I didn’t have it, but it was so good! As for the reviewers who think they might use butter for this? The reason you shouldn’t is that oil has a much higher resistence to burning in high heat (close to the broiler) than olive oil does. If you really want butter on your meat then melt some after and pour it on. If you cook with it, the meat will tend to burn on the outside.
-
All three of us really enjoyed this as it was made in the recipe, just broil under low. Very Good.
-
yummy stuff i made mashed potatoes and steamed snow peas and it was quite the yummy meal
-
I cooked this filet recipe for our romantic Valentine’s dinner tonight and they were delicious.. my broiler did 8 mins a side. Cooked to perfection! This is in my recipe box for the next time.. thanks for posting.
-
This was simply delicious! However I wish I had timing for medium-well, as that’s how my wife prefers it. All the same, it turned out medium-rare and succulent. I substituted the onion powder with finely crushed garlic, and the shallots with onion slices and a knob of butter. The natural flavor of the filet mignon is subtly complemented by the other flavors. It’s simply delicious. Well done!
-
Kudos 🙂 lovely lovely recipe
-
I made these for Valentines dinner. I have tried cooking filets before and had bad luck. Who knew it was this easy. Followed recipe exactly except for shallots, and they were amazing! If after 14 min. cooking time, they don’t appear done, take them out! They are perfect! I did let them rest before we ate them. Great job little cook!
-
Fixed this for he wife on Valentines Day. She thought it was fantastic. Served it with grilled onions over mashed potatoes and a salad. THANKS SO MUCH, to the young man for sharing it with us.
-
This was amazing, sometimes simplicity is better.
-
Way to go 14-year-old — I taught my kids to cook early also, and it was one of the best things I did. Sounds easy and terrific! PS to Swedish Chef – This will be “well” trust me!
-
This was a wonderful treat for Valentines day. I served it with potatoes and stuffed mushrooms. What a hit!
-
I’m not that great at cooking steak, but this turned out excellent! Thank you so much and keep up the good work!
-
I followed the directions exactly it it was fantastic, I will definately make again. chef in the making you did a great job.
-
Very easy to make and it was really good! I served it with mashed potatoes and marsala mushrooms.
-
thanks for this wonderful and very simple recipe- it made our Valentine dinner very special!
-
absolutely amazing! WOW!!!
-
Awesom, we loved it.
-
YUM-O!!! Absolutely delicious and so very easy!!! This recipe is definitely a keeper. I used Durkee Grill Creations steak seasoning after coating filets in olive oil. Wrapped bacon around meat, secured with kabob stick and broiled on Low. So tasty. Husband LOVED it. Will be making again and again!
-
I made it for Valentines day dinner with my husband! Very tasty. Thanks!
-
What an incredible recipe. I can’t to try more from this young man. Thank you for a delicious dinner!!!
-
Simple but very tasty. In the future I would let the filets marinate in the olive oil and spices for a few hours or overnight.
-
Excellent and perfectly cooked
-
Simple and good. I used pork instead of fillet, because that’s what I had on hand.
-
Great flavor! And super easy! I didnt have onion powder,so I used garlic powder and fresh crushed garlic. My 10 y.o. ate the whole thing. Becareful with the broil ,got the house smokey. Will cook this again.
-
didn’t much care for it. the bacon was way to over powering.
-
Bland, needs some sort of spices
-
Thanks for the great recipe. This was so simple and tasted great. My husband loved the steak wraped in the bacon. I did omit the shallots. This one is sure to please.
-
This was pretty good. I did not have toothpicks so the bacon came off. Once the bacon is done, the steak is done. DO NOT over cook filet mignon.

Incredibly easy for a new cook! I tried for the first time ever cooking this and It turned out wonder! I couldn’t believe how quickly it was done! I will say that I like mine well done so I needed to leave mine in longer but it’s all in how you like your meat cooked! Perfect for medium well people like my husband.
-
Great recipe! I tweaked a little by adding some garlic powder to the steak and I used minced onion instead of minced shallot(because I didn’t have it on hand). Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely make it again!
-
Perfect.
-
Good every time!!
-
tasted great and was very easy to make. to cook until med-well, i broiled them for about 20 minutes total. i’ll definitely make this again!
-
ive never even tried cooking meat, im not a big meat eater. so easy, so delicious.
