I introduced you to my girl crush, Juli Bauer, in my post about Mexican-inspired burgers. Let me go there yet again and introduce you to the wondrousness that is Roasted grape bacon wrapped filet mignon. Trust me, you WILL thank me later.
Amazing.
That's all I have to say about that.
Here's how I made it...
Take a giant bunch of red grapes. Remove from stem. Place in oven-proof bowl and add 1 T coconut oil plus some basalmic vinegar, toss to coat, add to pre-heated oven.
Take a slice of turkey bacon, wrap around outside of filet mignon, pin with toothpicks...
...when your grapes have about 10 minutes left of roasting, start cooking the steaks by cooking the bacon-sides first...
...and then grill the steaks 3-5 minutes per side...
...remove grapes from oven...
...and top cooked filet with the roasted grapes.... and DEVOUR.
Yes. It was THAT. EASY.
And you know what's funny/horrible? I'm learning about the Modern Portfolio Theory (bear with me...) and the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which are two investment theories which basically both say that you should invest in the optimal portfolio that maximizes the return while minimizing the risk you take.
And this dish? Completely maximizes the taste with barely any risk (i.e. work). I want to eat the roasted grapes by themselves. For real y'all.
