Ingredients

serves 2

　　One 8-ounce bottle zesty Italian salad dressing

　　2 beef tenderloin fillets, 1 1/2–2 inches thick

　　2 slices bacon

　　2 tablespoons Lea and Perrins Steak Sauce

　　2 teaspoons water

　　

Step 1

Pour the salad dressing into a shallow pan, place the steaks in the pan, and let them marinate for 3 to 4 hours.

　　

Step 2

Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill. Wrap a strip of bacon around each steak, securing it with a toothpick. Grill the steaks over hot coals for about 8 minutes per side (5 minutes per side for rare). Baste with a mixture of steak sauce and water. For perfect steaks, turn them only once.
