Wrap two pieces of bacon evenly around the outer edge of each Filet Mignon Steak. Secure with butchers twine. See note.
Season both sides of the Filet Mignon Steaks with salt and pepper
Heat olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet on high heat.
Once hot, add the Filet Mignon Steaks to the skillet. You want 1-2 inches between the steaks for this step. If your pan is too small, brown them 2 at a time instead.
Tuck the rosemary and garlic between the Filet Mignon Steaks.
Cook without moving, until a brown crust forms on the bottom of each Filet Mignon Steak. This takes 3-4 minutes.
Flip the Filet Mignon Steaks over and repeat on the next side.
Once browned on both sides, baste with the butter and olive oil mixture, and then place the pan with all the Filet Mignon Steaks in it into the oven.
Cook, uncovered, for 5-8 more minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 145º F.
Let rest 3-5 minutes before serving. Trim off the butcher twine before serving.
Notes
Do not use anything besides food-safe butchers twine to tie the bacon onto Filet Mignon Steaks.
