Filet Mignon prep

Hi Everyone,

Thought you might find this of interest. Although we don't have the mignon too often, I've found it difficult to get the bacon on the outside to be right. I just read this in Cook's Illustrated newsletter.

Take the bacon and place it between 2 plates, microvave it until partially cooked. Keeping it between the 2 plates keeps the bacon from shrinking; sprinkle a bit of sugar on the bacon to carmelize. Now wrap the filets, place a 1/2 piece uncooked bacon on top too and it as it cooks it will add flavor. Yum!
