with grilled beef fillet

First, boil the eggs for about 12 minutes, then rinse in cold water and let cool completely. Peel the eggs and slice them; this is easiest with an egg slicer. Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, and cut them into 8 slices. Cut the mozzarella into 4 slices, halve the ham slices, and wrap a slice of mozzarella in each half. Remove the peppers from the jar, drain well, and cut into strips. Brush the beef fillet with oil on both sides and place it on the preheated grill, or on the grill rack in the oven with the grill function. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side; it should still be slightly pink on the inside. Then season with salt and pepper. Remove from the grill and let rest briefly. In the meantime, place the bacon slices on the grill and fry until crispy. Halve the bread rolls and also toast them briefly on the grill. I always bake the rolls myself, as they taste the best. Place the wrapped mozzarella in a grill tray and grill gently until the cheese begins to melt slightly. Cut the meat into thin strips. Line up all the ingredients next to each other and assemble the burger as follows: Spread a little mayonnaise on the bottom half of the bun. Then place the lettuce on top, then arrange the tomatoes and egg slices on top, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the pepper strips and olives, if desired. Now arrange the meat strips, mozzarella, and finally the bacon on top. Spread a little more mayonnaise on the burger, place the bun lid on top, and serve.
