And I can see why they wrap bacon around it. It is incredibly bland. But incredibly tender too. I used just the slightest touch of Johnny Season Salt on it. Not enough to even taste. I think if I season it properly I could like it, but I want to be careful with anything that has salt in it.

I bought one of those bacon wrapped fillet mignon once and it was gross. I think maybe the bacon went bad, but i never bought one since.

Nitpicking point: It's spelled "filet" with one "L". When you write about it, if you just type "fillet" people will think you mean fish. If you say just "filet" people know you mean filet mignon.
Now, properly seasoned a good filet that is cooked very rare will have a unique and intense flavor with a combination of flavor/texture that I can only describe as "buttery". I know that description doesn't do the experience justice.
I do not find the cut bland in the least, but eating too big of a piece of it is a bit overwhelming to me. I prefer it to be grilled "Pittsburgh" or "Chicago" rare which means seared on the outside with grill marks and *just* warm in the center and only just properly seasoned with salt and pepper.
Properly seasoning with salt and pepper is the key - most home cooks don't know how to do it and could improve their own cooking VASTLY by throwing away all their other spices and seasonings and learning how to salt and pepper food properly.

i love a filet. sear it and bring it to me. and yeah, at least around here they call it chicago style. still sizzling when they bring it to you. and buttery is a description i use a lot. not ever sure many get that.
since salt is basically out for you due to medical reasons, you are going to have to experiment w/ other seasonings.
maybe some black and red, or a non salt added steak seasoning you might find.
