This is a delicious Bacon Wrapped Filet with Mushroom Marsala Sauce.

The filet will melt in your mouth tender and we have four different cooking methods, broiled, pan-fried, grilled, or air fried.

Our filet is wrapped in applewood bacon and we prefer to serve it with one or more sides like our polenta, pasta dishes, grilled artichokes, and today I am making our favorite Roasted Vegetables.

When shopping for this dish, use the best quality ingredients and fresh is best.

The marriage of flavors from all of these ingredients will give you a gourmet filet that so easy to prepare.

For the best results always marinate the meat for at least 1 hour if not longer before proceeding with the cooking methods.

This recipe is made for very thick cuts of filets, and the Marsala sauce is also great on other lesser cuts of steaks, chops, or even ground beef patties.

Medium, 6-7 minutes. Medium well, 8 or more minutes. Remove filets from the grill and set them covered baking dish. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Air Fried: Preheat the air fryer to 450 degrees. Place the steaks in the air fryer basket and cook for 6 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Steaks should be about 135° F for medium-rare. Transfer the steaks to a covered baking dish/plate to rest for 2 minutes.
Broiled: Place filets on a rack in a broiling pan. Set oven to broil; preheat for several minutes. Place the broiling pan in the highest position in the broiler; allow 2-3 minutes on each side to sear the filets. Lower pan to middle position; broil for 2 minutes on each side for rare, 3 minutes 30 seconds for medium, and 4 minutes for well-done.
Pan Fried: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Sear in a cast iron pan for 2 minutes on each side in salted, melted butter. Transfer to a baking dish in the oven for 4 minutes for rare, and 5 minutes for medium.
