Cook Time: 20 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

5   slices of bacon
4 teaspoon Paula Deen’s Merlot Wine Steak Sauce
5   beef tenderloin fillets, 1 1/2 - 2 inches thick
1   8-ounce bottle zesty Italian salad dressing
4 teaspoon water

Directions

Pour the salad dressing into a shallow pan, place the steaks in the pan and let them marinate for 3 to 4 hours.  Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill.  Wrap a strip of bacon around each steak, securing it with a toothpick or kitchen twine.  Grill the steaks over hot coals for about 8 minutes per side (5 minutes per side for rare).  Baste with a mixture of steak sauce and water.  For perfect steaks, turn them only once.
