Ingredients

1 (240ml) bottle zesty Italian salad dressing

2 beef tenderloin fillets, 4 to 5cm thick

2 slices streaky bacon

30ml steak sauce

20ml water

Method

 
Perfect char-griddled filet mignon

1) Pour the salad dressing into a shallow dish, place the steaks in the dish and allow to marinate for 3 to 4 hours.

2) Heat up a charcoal barbeque. Wrap a strip of bacon around each steak, securing it with a cocktail stick.

3) Cook the steaks over hot coals for about 8 minutes per side for medium-rare (5 minutes per side for rare). Baste with a mixture of steak sauce and water. For perfect steaks, turn them only once.
