Tenderloins with Blue Cheese Butter

Tenderloins With Blue Cheese Butter
Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
8 slices of bacon
4 (10oz) beef tenderloin or top loin steaks, cut 1 inch thick

Directions:
For blue cheese butter, in a small mixing bowl stir together butter, lemon juice, and pepper. Fold in blue cheese and mix until combined. Refrigerate until you need it. In a skillet cook bacon until almost done but not crisp. Drain fat. Pat bacon with paper towel to remove excess fat. Wrap bacon around steaks and secure with wooden toothpicks. Grill over medium heat for 8-12 minutes for rare or 12-15 minutes for medium. Serve steaks with a spoonful of blue cheese butter.
