Ingredients:
1 pound beef tenderloin
1/2 pound thin sliced bacon
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (for basting)
2 tablespoons Claibe's Signature Beef Rub
6 ounces Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
Salt and pepper to taste
Toothpicks
Prep the Filet:
Pat the beef tenderloin dry and cut it into 1 inch cubes.
Cut each strip of bacon in half and wrap it around each steak cube. Secure with a toothpick.
Season each side of the steak cubes with Claibe's Signature Beef Rub, salt, and pepper.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt and prepared horseradish.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.
The Cook:
Preheat your grill to medium high heat (about 450°F or 232°C).
Place the bacon wrapped filet mignon bites directly on the grill.
Sear the steak bites for 1-2 minutes on each side to develop a nice crust and ensure the bacon gets crispy.
Reduce the heat to medium and continue grilling, turning occasionally, until the steak bites reach your desired level of doneness (about 6-8 minutes for medium rare).
Brush the steak bites with Worcestershire sauce during the last minute of grilling for an added layer of flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve these delectable bites with the creamy horseradish sauce on the side.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Pair with a bold red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah.
Complement with side dishes like roasted Brussels sprouts, sour cream mashed potatoes, or a fresh arugula salad.
