Proscuitto wraps more easily around a filet than bacon slices, and it helps to protect the meat and add flavour in just the same way. If you like, substitute purchased or herb-infused oil for the olive oil, herbs and garlic. Serve with your favourite mashed potatoes and baby vegetables. PreparationHeat the oven to 500°F. In a food processor, combine the basil and garlic. With the motor running, stream in 1/3 cup of olive oil. Place the steaks on a plate. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the herb and oil mixture in a small bowl and pour the remainder over the steaks and coat all surfaces. Set aside for 15 minutes. Pat the steaks dry (it's fine if some bits of garlic and herbs remain on them). Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper. Wrap each filet with a piece of prosciutto just around the sides or enveloping it completely. In a large ovenproof skillet (such as cast iron), heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook on one side until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip the steaks and place the skillet in the oven. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes for medium rare, or to the doneness desired. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with foil; let rest for 5 minutes. To serve, top each steak with some of the reserved herb and oil mixture. |
