Bacon Magic:
- Wrap each seasoned steak with 3 slices of bacon. You can use toothpicks to secure the bacon in place if needed, especially for thicker cuts of steak.
-
Sear for Flavor:
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the bacon-wrapped steaks to the pan. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bacon starts to crisp up and brown.
-
Oven Finish for Perfect Doneness:
- Once seared, transfer the skillet with the steaks directly to the preheated oven. Cook the steaks for 15-20 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak:

- 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare (pink center)
- 160°F (71°C) for medium (slightly pink center)
- 170°F (77°C) for well-done (no pink center)
-
Rest and Serve:
- Take the skillet out of the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate. Tent the steaks loosely with foil and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Enjoy!
- Slice the rested Bacon-Wrapped Round Steaks and serve them with your favorite sides. The savory bacon pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
