I made this for a Christmas meal with two other couples - all very close; have been friends for many years. We know one another well enough to be completely honest!!! Everyone raved about this dish. One of my friends actually said it was the best meal he can remember eating in years!! "Better than any restaurant". Very easy to make and the results are fabulous!

Fabulous recipe! I topped my filet with lump crab VS the crab cake the recipe calls for and it was to die for. Next time , I'll try it with the crab cake, I'm sure it will be just as outrageous!

This is definitely restaurant quality food. We practically SWOON when we have this. MMMMM! My husband doesn't even care for beef much. The only change I made was to omit wrapping the filet in bacon. Someday I will try that, but it's wonderful without.
