Filet mignon and polish sausage. Two foods you may not have thought would go together. But thanks to Omaha Steaks, they do now. Combining all the mild, beefy flavor of filet mignon and the savory taste of a kielbasa polish sausage, you get an umami experience that is fancy enough for a steakhouse, but casual enough for the tailgate! In this recipe, we take these sausages to yet another level by wrapping them in bacon and putting some extra toppings on them. Follow along!
Filet Mignon, Reimagined
Since this polish sausage is made up of filet mignon, it only makes sense to treat it as a filet mignon. That means wrapping in bacon, serving with sauteed mushrooms and onions, and topping with crumbled blue cheese. To start, preheat griddle or cast iron skillet to 350 degrees. Remove the filet mignon polish sausages from the packaging and wrap each one with two strips of bacon. Once grill is up to temp, place the bacon-wrapped sausages on the grill. Usually with hot dogs or polish sausages, you only need to turn them once. Since we have bacon wrapped around these, we are going to do quarter turns to make sure that bacon gets as evenly cooked as possible. This may take about 5-7 minutes for each side.
Do These Polish Sausages Cook Like Steaks?
While these sausages are made of steak, they don’t cook like steaks. This means you don’t have to keep checking the internal temp of the polish sausages to get to your level of doneness. They will look the usual pink color inside that polish sausages have, even if they are on the grill for 20 minutes. Now that the bacon wrapped outside is cooked to your liking, remove from the griddle or skillet.
Serving Them Up
While the filet mignon polish sausages are cooking, Get a small-to-medium sized skillet heated up with a couple tablespoon of butter and a clove of garlic. As it starts to melt, put in some sliced mushrooms and white onion. Season with a little salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms and onions are soft. On a hot dog bun, lay the sauteed onions and mushrooms evenly across the opened bun. Since these polish sausages are made with filet mignon, go fancy and use a brioche bun. Put the bacon-wrapped sausage on next and top with crumbled blue cheese.
