Stuffed Filet Mignon
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Filet Mignon
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut a pocket in each filet mignon, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff the Filets
Stuff each pocket with smoked mozzarella cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Sear the Filets
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season filets with salt and pepper, then sear each side for 3-4 minutes until browned.
Bake the Filets
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare.
Prepare the Chipotle Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine minced garlic, chipotle peppers, and heavy cream. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
Once the filets are done, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle the chipotle sauce over the stuffed filets and garnish with chopped parsley.
