Bacon wrapped Filet Mignon stuffed with blue cheese Ingredients ➜ 4 filet mignon steaks, about 2
➜ 1 tablespoon finely
➜
➜ 1 teaspoon smoked paprika ➜ 1 teaspoon good-
➜ ➜ ➜
inches thick, cut with a small deep pocket on each side Raw bacon slices, enough to wrap each steak 1 cup crumbled blue cheese 3 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon onion powder
ground black pepper quality chili powder
➜ 1 teaspoon raw sugar ➜ 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
Directions Prepare spice mixture by stirring together the salt, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, chili powder, sugar and dry mustard. Set aside until ready to use. Stuff one-fourth of the blue cheese into each steak. Work the cheese in as far as you can and squeeze the opening shut to seal it, securing with toothpicks. Season liberally on both sides with the spice mixture. Wrap a few slices of uncooked bacon around each steak, again securing with toothpicks. Prepare the grill for cooking over direct heat. Remove the toothpicks if using and place the steaks directly on the cooking grate. Cook for 3 minutes, rotate the steaks 1/4 turn to make crosshatch marks, and then cook another 2 minutes. Flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare, or to your degree of desired doneness. Remove to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serves 4
