tonight's dinner is all about a romantic
0:13
dinner for two so I'm thrilled that
0:15
you're here with me and I'm getting a
0:18
meal prepared that I think Michael is
0:21
gonna love filet mignon and I'm gonna
0:24
start by marinating them in the
0:26
refrigerator and I'm gonna use just a
0:28
plain Italian dressing now you can use a
0:32
bottle too Italian dressing or if you
0:34
make your own that'll be great you can
0:37
just pour that over it and I'm gonna
0:40
marinate my steaks for about four hours
0:42
two hours on one side then I'm gonna
0:45
flip them and marinate them for two more
0:47
hours on the other side
0:49
and I've already got something that's
0:51
marinating right here so they're ready
0:53
to go now I'm gonna make a basting sauce
0:56
for these steaks as they're cooking I'm
1:00
gonna take two teaspoons of water and
1:03
I'm gonna add two tablespoons of a steak
1:07
sauce I'm gonna mix that together to
1:12
just break it down a wee little bit all
1:16
right now I'm gonna take our steaks out
1:17
oh and that smells delicious all the
1:20
herbs and everything in that Italian
1:22
dress and I can really smell it
1:24
now I'm gonna take two nice pieces of
1:26
bacon and I tend to use in here in my
1:30
house a thicker bacon and I'm just gonna
1:33
wrap that around like that and I'm gonna
1:35
take a piece of kitchen twine of cord
1:38
and I'm just gonna measure that off and
1:47
secure that bacon around that steak and
1:55
then I'm gonna cut that off so that that
1:59
won't fall into the fire to the griddle
2:01
and burn all right so I'm gonna take my
2:03
second piece of bacon and do the same
2:06
thing and this one's going to be my
2:09
steak because it's smaller
2:23
so I'm just going to transfer these to
2:25
the grill I'm gonna brush this side with
2:31
our steak sauce and this is gonna give
2:34
it just a little extra kick that we
2:39
normally wouldn't have so right now I'm
2:41
gonna turn those over and we're gonna do
2:45
the same thing on the other side and I'm
2:51
gonna marinate this side that steak
2:56
sauce smells really really good all
3:00
right so I'm gonna let this cook off a
3:01
few minutes I'm gonna give my hands a
3:04
quick wash now if you like your meat
3:06
more towards medium well a thick filet
3:10
it's really a challenge to cook to that
3:12
temperature so if you're afraid that
3:15
your meat won't get done as much as you
3:19
like it on top of the griddle you can
3:21
transfer this to a blank skillet and run
