This is our favorite way to eat Beef Filet! This Horseradish & Butter Beef Filet is super tender because the butter bastes the beef. The horseradish and bacon crust gets golden and creamy! This recipe is a must try!
Pretty excited about this! I was invited to do a YouTube Collaboration with Chef Politte! He is a very accomplished Chef with 100’s of great videos on YouTube! He also has his own line of Spice Mixes at http://www.itsonlyfood.biz/ and check out Chef John’s YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkIxncqAFooOMASytR7l33A It was sooo much fun! He was great to work with and very patient because as you know, I’m a YouTube Newby!
I literally spent 3 hours trying to photoshop our dishes on the same plate just because I thought it would be fun to see, since we are 1000 miles apart in the Northern reaches of the US of A. My 15 year old came home from school and had this in 10 minutes. Then said, I just can’t make it look much better, wrong angles and different lighting…. It’svastly better than my three hour attempt and fun, nonetheless!
These crusted Beef Filet are phenomenal! They are tender and have just right bite of horseradish and of course the bacon. Isn’t bacon it’s own food group? Active time is about 30 minutes and they are elegant enough to make for the President, I believe! Thanks for watching and subscribing to Chef John’s Channel and to mine! Check out this Horseradish Crusted Grouper I made with a similar crust topping, but it has lobster, too!

My 25 year old talked me into doing my first one in January. I have to admit, it is more fun than I anticipated!
