Some flavor combinations don't need convincing. Filet mignon wrapped in bacon is one of those no-brainer classics. At 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse in Dallas, we take that unbeatable duo and turn it into something unforgettable. We call it Filet Mignon Com Bacon—our fire-roasted Filet Mignon with bacon, wrapped in smoky, sizzling layers. It's the kind of cut that makes your taste buds pay attention. One bite is all it takes to understand why guests ask for it again and again. There's comfort in that first taste, and there's a little magic in how the bacon crisps around the tender beef. This is more than steak. It's churrasco at its finest, served hot and fresh, just the way it should be.

Why This Pairing Works So Well

Beef tenderloin is famous for being incredibly soft, juicy, and mild in flavor. It's often called the most tender cut of beef. That makes it the perfect partner for a crisp, smoky strip of bacon. The bacon brings out the richness in the beef, adding a pop of salty crunch to every bite. It's a simple idea, but when it's cooked over an open flame—just as we do at 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse—it turns into something truly special. The fire seals in the juices and crisps the edges of the bacon just enough to give it that perfect bite. It's not greasy. It's not dry. It's just balanced, bold, and mouthwatering. We don't grill our meat on a flat surface. We roast it over flames, the way churrasco is meant to be done, which brings out a deep, smoky flavor without detracting from the natural taste of the meat.

Always Served with Style and Freshness

At 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse, your meal is more than just food—it's an experience. Every guest is part of the action when our gauchos come to the table, skewers in hand, ready to slice the next hot cut of meat. When they arrive with the Filet Mignon Com Bacon, you'll see the steam rise and smell the smoky aroma even before the first slice. It's not sitting under a heat lamp or getting lost in the kitchen. It's carved just for you seconds after it leaves the flame. The filet is juicy and warm, and the bacon is crisp and flavorful—never soggy, never dry. That attention to detail, timing, and technique makes every bite feel like the first. Our gauchos take pride in slicing and serving each portion with care, bringing the spirit of the Brazilian steakhouse right to your table.
