Not-Quite-Naked Steaks 

Total time: 20 minutes
   Small, thick-cut filet mignon are perfect done on the barbecue grill.  A wrap of bacon adds flavor and helps the steak stay moist.  That, plus a light sprinkle of seasoning is all these lovely steaks need.  We like them medium rare.  On a hot grill these will cook very fast - so be mindful!

 Ingredients:

• 2 -  6oz (180gr) beef tenderloin steaks (fillet mignon)
• 2 - 4 slices bacon - enough to wrap around each steak
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

 Instructions:

• Wrap bacon around steaks and secure with toothpicks. 
• Mix remaining ingredients and rub on both sides of steaks. 
• Grill on barbecue over high heat 3 - 5 minutes a side. 
• If you like rare, remove after two minutes per side, make a small slit in one and check.   If not done to your liking return for another 1 - 2 minutes per side. 
• Remove from heat and serve.

Note:  Could be broiled for roughly same amount of time - mind the bacon.
