Check out this incredibly delicious recipe from Derek Wolf at Over the Fire Cooking for Bourbon & Bacon Filet Mignon.

Ingredients

Yields: 2
Cook: mins
Prep: 15 mins

2 filet mignon’s
2 pieces of bacon
1 cup of bourbon
1 cup of sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup of light brown sugar
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
1/2 stick of butter
Salt & pepper to taste
2 toothpicks (if necessary)

Preparation

In a bowl, mix the bourbon, brown sugar, garlic cloves, lemon juice, plus salt & pepper to taste. Stir thoroughly and place to the side
Next, wrap steaks with bacon and use toothpicks to keep in place if necessary. Season with salt, pepper & cinnamon
Use some Cowboy Hardwood Lump Charcoal to light fire and let burn for 10-15 minutes. Once charcoal is white hot, disperse over grill evenly for direct grilling. Optional: For a more intense flavor, add some hickory or apple wood chunks to the top of the charcoal
Set cast iron pan over fire about 2 minutes before cooking in order to heat up evenly. When pre-heated, add butter to pan and let melt. Once melted, add the bourbon mixture to the pan and let simmer for 8-10 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Occasionally stir mixture, and pull off fire if it starts to blacken!
Add mushrooms to skillet once the bourbon mixture has thickened and stir for 2 minutes. Push mushrooms to one side and place steaks in the skillet. Let steaks cook for 7-8 minutes per side or until internal temperature is at 125F (medium-rare). Make sure bacon is cooked thoroughly as well
Pull steaks & mushrooms off grill and let rest for 10 minutes
Serve & enjoy!

Cowboy® Smokehouse BBQ Sauce

Enjoy the flavors of the open range. Across the western frontier, chuck wagon chefs grilled over aromatic wood fires and created “cowboy cuisine.” Our sauces descend from those heritage recipes. They enhance grilled food rather than overpower it. Pair with beef, pork, and poultry, and everything in between.
