Ingredients:
Ingredient Quantity
Round Steaks 4 (6-8 ounces each)
Bacon Slices 12
Olive Oil 2 tablespoons
Garlic Cloves, Minced 2
Dried Thyme 1 teaspoon
Salt and Pepper To taste
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the oven is nice and hot for when the seared steaks go in to finish cooking.
Season the Steaks:
Pat the round steaks dry with paper towels to remove any surface moisture. Season them generously with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
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.
