• 2 ea filet mignon, 7 oz
• 2 ea bacon strips, cut into 1 in pieces
• 1 lb baby carrots
• 1 ea shallot, julienned
• 2 Tb maple syrup
• 1 ea thyme sprig
• 1 C Demi Glace, available in grocery or meat markets
• 1 Tb olive oil

Preparation

Add the bacon to a large hot sauce pot. Reduce the heat and let the bacon caramelize on both sides. Add the shallot and let cook for 2 minutes. Add the carrots, the maple syrup, the thyme and 1 tsp salt. Mix well, cover, and reduce to medium heat. Check and stir regularly until the carrots are glazed and cooked through.

The filet mignon can either be seared in a hot sauté pan with oil or char-grilled, if available. Just remember to be generous when applying salt and pepper to the beef.
Good luck and enjoy!
