Best Bacon Fat Basted Steak Recipes

BACON STEAK WITH CARAMELIZED BUTTER

Steps:

• Wrap 1 slice of bacon around the edge of each steak, and secure with a wooden pick.
• In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook steaks for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until steaks reach desired degree of doneness.
• In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, butter, and chipotle mustard. Spread on steaks, and cook briefly to melt sauce. Serve immediately.
• Note: Remove wooden picks from steaks before serving.

FILET MIGNON WITH RICH BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Sprinkle freshly ground pepper over both sides of each steak, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place steaks in hot pan, and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add balsamic vinegar and red wine. Cover, and cook for 4 minutes on each side, basting with sauce when you turn the meat over.
• Remove steaks to two warmed plates, spoon one tablespoon of glaze over each, and serve immediately.

STICKY THYME & MUSTARD BACON CHOPS

Steps:

• Season the bacon chops with pepper (no need to add extra salt). Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then sizzle and brown the chops over a medium heat for 5 mins, turning once. Lift onto a plate.
• Add the butter to the pan. Once it looks foamy, stir in the onion and thyme, and fry very gently for 15 mins until the onion is soft and golden. Stir in the marmalade, mustard and stock, then simmer for 2 mins until it starts to thicken to a sauce. Add the chops back to the pan, simmer for 3 mins more, then serve.
