This Week's Meals - Zelda Spectacular (3/3): Energizing Glazed Meat.

# Energizing Glazed Meat
The Legend's Cookbook
5.0 servings
2.0 8 oz Filet Mignon steaks
4.0 strips strips bacon
Salt
Pepper
0.25 cup honey
2.0 cloves garlic (minced)
0.5 cup balsamic vinegar
0.25 cup brown sugar
1.0 tsp ground ginger
1.0 tsp dijon mustard
1.0 tbsp olive oil
2.0 tbsp salted butter
scallions (garnish)
1 - Preheat oven to 375°F.
2 - Mix balsamic vinegar with brown sugar, honey, ginger, and mustard in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
3 - Stir constantly until sugar has dissolved.
4 - Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until reduced by half, about 15 to 20 minutes. The glaze should coat the back of a spoon.

5 - Wrap the sides of the filet mignon with bacon and secure with toothpicks.
6 - Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
7 - In a cast iron skillet over medium high heat, add oil and garlic.
8 - Once garlic is fragrant, place the steaks bacon-side down. Cook bacon on all sides, about 1 minute per side.
9 - Sear the top and bottom of the filet mignon for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until nice and browned in the cast iron skillet using the bacon fat.
10 - Put 1 tbsp of butter on top of each steak and bake for 7 to 8 minutes.
11 - Remove and let rest for a few minutes.
12 - Pour on all the glaze your arteries can handle.
13 - Garnish with some scallions.
