For each serving:
1 slice bacon
1 filet mignon, cut about 2 inches (5 cm) thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup (60 ml) crumbled blue cheese
Fry the bacon in a skillet over high heat until almost crisp. Drain
on paper towels and wrap around the side of the filet mignon,
attaching the ends with a toothpick. Season the filet with salt and
pepper and saute in a little bacon grease until browned on both sides.
Transfer to a preheated 450F (230C) oven and roast to an internal
temperature of 125F (50C) for medium rare, about 8 to 10 minutes. Top
with the blue cheese and roast until the cheese begins to melt. Allow
to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
