Bacon Wrapped Beef Tenderloin In Air Fryer Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED FILET MIGNON

Steps:

• Brush filets with English mustard on all sides.
• In a small bowl or ramekin, combine salt, pepper, onion powder, minced onion, and paprika. Season top and bottom sides of the filets with the seasoning mix and let rest for 15 minutes.
• While the steak is resting, place toothpicks in a bowl of water to soak.
• Preheat the air fryer to 370* for 5 minutes.
• Wrap steaks with bacon. Use 1-2 slices depending on the thickness of the steak. Secure the ends of the bacon with a toothpick.
• Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Add the steak to the air fryer basket-Cook for 12 minutes total. Be sure to stop halfway through cooking and flip the steaks over. ***We cooked the steaks to medium-rare (145*) using these cooking times. Adjust cooking time for the desired temp. Add 1 minute for medium, 2 minutes for medium-well.
• Allow steak to rest on a wooden cutting board for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Plate, serve, and enjoy!

AIR FRYER BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pat beef tenderloin dry with paper towels.
• Place tenderloin on a plate. Drizzle oil all over the beef and sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper. Rub spices and oil into the meat. Place the roast in the air fryer basket by folding it to make it fit. Close the basket.
• Reduce heat to 390 degrees F (198 degrees C). Air fry for 22 minutes. Reduce heat again to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Cook for 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium.
• Remove tenderloin from the basket and place on a plate. Allow to rest, uncovered, for at least 10 minutes before serving.

BACON WRAPPED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• For the tenderloin: Begin by placing a large sheet of plastic wrap on a clean bench top (use 2 overlapping sheets if you have to). In the center of the plastic, lay the bacon slices vertically, slightly overlapping one another, working from left to right. Sprinkle the tenderloin with the salt and pepper. Place the beef tenderloin horizontally across the strips of bacon (along the bottom of the rectangle of bacon). Roll up the plastic and bacon around the beef so it is wrapped tightly and evenly. Twist the ends of plastic to tighten and form the meat into an even log shape. Place in the refrigerator to firm up for 1 hour so the bacon sticks to the beef and the roast retains its nice even shape.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Set a large cast-iron pan (or roaster) over high heat and coat lightly with canola oil. Remove the beef from the fridge and discard the plastic. Place the roast seam-side down in the pan and brown on all four sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. When completely browned, place the whole pan in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes (an instant-read thermometer should register 135 degrees F for medium-rare). When done, remove from the oven and transfer the roast to a platter to rest before slicing into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
• For the peppercorn sauce: Set the pan used for the beef over medium heat. Discard all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of fat from the pan, and then add the garlic and shallots. Season with some salt and saute until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the green peppercorns. Mix well, and then remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the whiskey (you can flambe if you like here by igniting the alcohol in the pan). Return the pan to the heat and cook down until just about all the liquid has reduced before adding the beef stock and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and cook to allow flavors to meld, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the cold butter cubes, swirling as they dissolve. Taste and, if needed, season with more salt. Serve with the slices of bacon wrapped tenderloin.

BACON-WRAPPED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Trim beef tenderloin to a thickness of 2 1/2 inches.
• Combine rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub and press mixture evenly over all sides of the beef.
• Place a long sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Arrange bacon slices crosswise on the wrap, slightly overlapping each piece to form a rectangle. Place the seasoned tenderloin over the bacon slices. Wrap the bacon slices up around the beef and secure with toothpicks. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove beef from the refrigerator; remove and discard plastic wrap.
• Heat oil in a roasting pan over 2 burners set to medium heat. Place beef, seam-side down, in the roasting pan. Cook until bacon begins to brown, turning to brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast, uncovered, until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 30 to 35 minutes, or until desired doneness.
• Transfer beef, seam-side down, to a platter. Remove toothpicks and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
