Ingredients
- 4 filet mignon steaks (6-8 ounces each)
- 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Carefully slice each filet mignon horizontally, creating a pocket for the stuffing. Be cautious not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each filet with a generous amount of crumbled blue cheese, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed within the pocket. Gently press the steak together to seal the opening.
- Wrap a slice of bacon around each filet mignon, securing it with toothpicks to hold it in place during cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the filets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the filets in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned.
- Transfer the filets to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steaks and your preferred level of doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the filets from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Remove the toothpicks and garnish the Stuffed Filet Mignon with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired.
- Serve the Gourmet Stuffed Filet Mignon as the centerpiece of an unforgettable meal. Pair it with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, sautéed vegetables, or a refreshing salad, and relish in the luxurious flavors and tender texture of this exceptional dish.
