Want to feel extra? Before wrapping, rub the filet with a little Dijon mustard or herb butter. Garlic and rosemary are classic pals for beef. Or, if you’re feeling reckless, brush the bacon with a thin layer of maple syrup before cooking. Sweet, salty, crispy—it’s like breakfast had a romantic dinner with steak.
And for the love of all that is holy, finish with flaky sea salt. Just a pinch on top after slicing. That little crunch makes you look like you know what you’re doing, even if you just learned how to boil water last week.
