Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 (8 ounce) filet mignon (center cut if possible)
1 pinch salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb (not dry!)
2 slices bacon (cooked and finely minced)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chives (finely minced)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
Heat the oil in a large pan, just enough to coat, on medium-high until barely smoking.
Sprinkle the filets with salt and pepper, pat into steak.
Brown well on both sides (about 3 mins).
Meanwhile, mix together last five ingredients, and divide over the tops of the filets.
If possible, Put skillet directly into oven, if not oven safe remove from the pan; blot the bottom of the meat dry with paper towels and place the filets in a baking pan.
Bake for about 7 minutes for medium rare, or as desired.
Let rest for 5 minutes, serve.
