Believe it or not I've never made bacon wrapped filet mignon. I started the process by making some herb butter.
2.5 sticks of unsalted sweet cream butter, roasted one clove garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, sage, thyme & a little coarse kosher salt and cracked pepper. Placed onto cellophane to form up 2 logs. Used a plastic butter dish to form this one. Refrigerated for several hours. And the 2nd log went into the deep freezer for future use.

The filets are from a beef tenderloin I steaked out a few weeks back.

Getting the CI pan ready for the sear.

Served with baked potato and steamed broccoli.

Thanks for looking. Enjoy your week. Before anybody asks... Yes, I was disappointed in the Bronco game. Next up Da Bears. Go Broncos.

Damn, too bad our tag line isn't "Didn't happen if I didn't get a taste."

Looks great Husker. How was the butter?

NPHuskerFL · November 2015

And this just in on Peyton. I was more disappointed that Kobiak played him knowing he wasn't close to 100%. Go Broncos!!! Hope he can heal enough to play later in the season but, more so so he isn't in pain. That's a tough injury for a QB. I'd say it's just as bad as turf toe.

Thanks Everyone!
@saluki2007 The butter is $ on any steak, chop etc

Great looking cook Blake!

EggSmokeVa · November 2015

Looks great... Might have found my Friday night dinner plans! Thanks

HendersonTRKing · November 2015

That looks great . . . and this from a not-a-filet guy. That'd please anyone, esp, the Missus. Another inspiring cook.

Tough day for the Mannings, with Peyton taking the worst of it for sure.

NPHuskerFL · November 2015

@HendersonTRKing Thanks. These were butter tender. But, I'm still more of a good Ribeye or Chuckeye guy myself. Would I do these again? Absolutely.

Here's a title. "I performed better than Peyton today"

Agreed. Compound butter is something that should get wider use.

Brisket_Fanatic · November 2015

Looks great!

Dredger · November 2015

Looks fantastic. Great job on the cook and the butter. We don't get to see many Broncos games on the East coast other than highlights and I hated to see what happened to Peyton. But big congrats on his record. We're big Broncos fans. Did get to see Eli play and the refs should have been drawn and quartered as we say down South.

NPHuskerFL · November 2015

@DoubleEgger Shut your dirty mouth. LoL. His record speaks for itself. His last two games a blind man could see he's hurting. Why play him only you risk further injury. The beginning of the season he had to transition from running his offense to running what Kubiak wants.
@Dredger We are hit & miss on televised Bronco games. I'm also on the EastCoast. Listened to it on Denver KOA AM via iHeart Radio.
@HeavyG Yes Sir. Compound butter brings a nice finish. The herbs in this one really brought out the beef and let it shine. Very tender filets.

DoubleEgger · November 2015

I don't disagree brother Husker. It's just sad that his wimpy little brother has more rings than he has.

YukonRon · November 2015

The record he established, gave him goat status. In football there is no higher honor. He is destined for Canton.
Greatest Of All Time, will precede his name whenever he will be introduced.
The herb butter an the BWFs were awesome.

NPHuskerFL · November 2015

Thanks @YukonRon
The compound butter only took a few minutes to make and adds so much in the end.
I'm gonna do a couple of different ones w/ variations in herbs...maybe some basil, tarragon, etc for different items like seafood, chicken, bread...

slovelad · November 2015

I have reason to believe that I influenced your decision to do the CI bacon wrapped filet?

they are just a dangerous combo!

how did the butter turn out? I did some recently that had too much garlic, a bit overpowering

NPHuskerFL · November 2015

@slovelad No influence. Sorry, I didn't see your post on this. I've made the butter several times. It's real good on steak, chops and some veggies. The ratio of garlic is key. Also I roast it, simmer in butter and lastly smash it and sift into the mix removing the large chunks of garlic. The flavor stays in the butter that was used during simmering.

In the end no one will remember Peytons game yesterday, I mean the game he broke the record, but they won't harp on the QBR etc like they're doing today.

Truth.
