This was PERFECT. I can't believe I actually cooked this and it worked and it was so easy. Seriously. Steak is like one of those things I don't even try, but I had a special occasion and went for it. So glad I did and so glad you posted this. BF will love me forever for this one.

I didn't make the bacon wrapped steak, but I made the balsamic onion sauce. Can I just say, "WOW!" If you like balsamic vinegar and onions, you'll LOVE this. I saved and topped it on salad and the steak I'd made. There was a bit left the day after and I just ate it out of the tupperware. LOL. YUM

Loved this recipe, at first I wasnt sure by the smell, I thought the balsamic vinegar would be very strong in taste, however I was wrong it is great! Thanks for sharing..

We tried this on Store Bought filet migon and This was excellent, I had a hard time perfecting the sauce and had to make it twice but the final product my husband and I both loved and will make again, maybe next time on steaks.
