    Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon with Red Wine Sauce, grilled vegetables and a sweet potato on a white plate

    Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day in Iowa. The sun was shining, the wind stopped blowing, and it was cool enough to still wear long sleeves. And then I realized something, it is the middle of May, and there have been no tornadoes! Yes that is a good thing!!! Yet, it is still a bit eerie. I have this feeling of, what is going to happen now?

    I am nervously awaiting what Mother Nature has in store for us in the near future. In the meantime, I will grill out as often as possible. No storms, means no rain!!!

    Alex was a sweetheart and refilled the gas tank for the grill yesterday, and brought me a Mocha Frappuccino! There is nothing better than Filet Mignon, whether it is wrapped in bacon on the grill or wrapped in puff pastry for Christmas Dinner. This Bacon wrapped Filet Mignon with Red Wine Sauce is no exception. It is the ultimate special occasion meal, and is so easy to prepare. The meat is the star, and does not need a lot to make it shine.

    how to make bacon wrapped filet mignon with red wine sauce:

    Season fillets with garlic pepper.

    Wrap each fillet with a slice of bacon. Trim the ends so there is no overlap.

    Wrap a piece of baker's twine around the bacon to hold in place.

    twine wrapped around two bacon wrapped filets on a cutting board

    Place fillets on a hot grill and cook for 5 - 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Mine were about 1" thick.

    Boil the red wine and beef stock in a saucepan until reduced by half.

    Add the butter slices. Whisk in the Dijon mustard and simmer until combined.

    add butter to reduced red wine in a saucepan

    Remove twine and serve.

      That is a huge swing in temperature in just a few days. I bet you must be so pleased to have the warmer weather after enduring such a long winter. I love how when the weather warms, we all want to rush outside and bar-be-cue xx

      Tornadoes?! I'd take the occasional earthquake we have here on the west coast over tornadoes -- those sound way too scary for me!

      I pinned this one because I have never made a red wine sauce and yours looks delicious. I'm going to give it a try! We have had no tornadoes here yet either and May is our big month for them. But I'm nervous about June, since the seasons seem to be running a little behind!
