Ingredients

  • 4 (6 ounce) filet mignon steaks
  • 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian dressing
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup minced jalapeno pepper
  • 20 slices thinly sliced bacon

Preparation

Step 1

Slice the steaks into 1/2-inch wide strips. Pound the strips to about half their original thickness. Place the steak in a bowl; pour the Italian dressing over the meat; allow to marinate at least 2 hours.

Step 2

Mix together the cream cheese and jalapeno pepper in a bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.

Step 4

Remove the strips from the marinade and lay on a flat surface. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on each strip. Fold the meat around the cream cheese mixture to form a ball. Wrap each ball with a slice of bacon. Secure bacon with water-soaked toothpicks or metal skewers.

Step 5

Cook on preheated grill until steak is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side.
