Bacon Wrapped Filet and Gluten Free Delicious Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes
Bacon Wrapped Filet
Ingredients
- 6oz Filet
- apple wood bacon
- cauliflower mash
- asparagus
- zucchini and squash
- salt, pepper, garlic powder
Process
1. Wrap Filet with apple wood bacon hold in place with a tooth pick.
2. Grill to perfection (I place the grill on heat, after 1 min I turn 90 degrees creating the diamond shaped pattern, after 2 mins on the same side I flip and do the exact same thing. I only leave it on the grill for 4 mins total. this is because I eat it rare. If you like your steak more cooked leave it on longer).
3. Slice zucchini and squash and place it on a pan in the oven for 15 min on 350 degrees. Make sure you season it with olive oil and salt and pepper to give it flavor.
4. Grill asparagus for 5 to 10 mins till cooked
5. Steam cauliflower in and turn it into a mash. This is a great substitute for mash potatoes

I’m making these cupcakes today. They sound so good!
It all sounds good except the bacon. That ruins the flavor of an otherwise excellent cut of beef.
Omgoodness. Bacon wrapped filet? So easy, but WHY didn’t I think to do that?
We had marinated skirt steak, which was awesome. Usually I don’t eat left over red meat at all, but it was so good I made an exception.
Hope you had a great Valentines Day. I know I did.
These look great! Thanks for the great recipes!
