Bacon-Wrapped Cacao-Crusted Filet

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Combine rub ingredients together . Rub filets liberally with the mixture until evenly coated. Wrap the filets with bacon and secure with toothpicks.

Heat a cast iron skillet (or oven proof skillet) on medium high heat until it appears to be smoking. Add ghee and quickly but carefully add the steaks (facing away from you so you don’t splash yourself). Sear the steaks for about 45–60 seconds on each side.

Turn off burner and transfer to oven to finish cooking, about 10–15 minutes, or until desired doneness. Allow steaks to rest for 10 minutes before eating. Enjoy!

Note: Steak is very temperature sensitive when cooking and does best when it is at room temperature prior to searing. Therefore, take steaks out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking.
