Bacon Beef Tenderloin with Garlicky Greens

You don’t have to go to your favorite steakhouse to get a good meal — you can make one at home, and it’s easier than you think. This beef tenderloin cooked with bacon and served with garlic-flavored greens is filling, delicious, and the perfect dinner in.

If you’re anything like me, you like to have at least one more side with dinner. My boyfriend would argue maybe two or three 😉 The greens make a nice addition but might I also suggest some mashed sweet potatoes – if you have room for the carbs – or cauliflower tabouli.

Enjoy!
