Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil.

For the compound butter, mash together butter, blue cheese, parsley, zest, and ½ tsp. salt in a bowl using a fork until blended.

Mound butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Roll plastic wrap around butter, forming a tight cylinder about 3 inches in diameter. Tightly twist ends of plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 30 minutes.

For the filets, slice tenderloin into four 6-oz. filets, each about 1½-inches thick.

Wrap a strip of bacon around each filet and tie with kitchen string. Brush both sides of each filet with oil and season with salt and pepper.

Grill filets about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. Remove filets from grill, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Remove string before serving. Serve filets with butter.
