Cheese Stuffed Filet Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prep the Filet

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each filet mignon for the cheese filling. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

2. 2

   Prepare the Cheese Filling

   In a bowl, mix the gourmet cheese blend with salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Stuff each filet with the cheese mixture and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks.

3. 3

   Sear the Filet

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of vegetable oil. Sear the stuffed filets for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare.

4. 4

   Make the Tuscan Sauce

   In the same skillet, add chopped portabella mushrooms and sauté until softened. Pour in the veal stock and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. 5

   Prepare Crispy Onion Tanglers

   Dredge the thinly sliced onion in flour, then fry in hot vegetable oil until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

   Place the stuffed filet on a plate, drizzle with Tuscan veal/portabella sauce, and top with crispy onion tanglers. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
