🥘 Ingredients

15 items

• 4 pieces Filet mignon steaks
• 1 cup Lump crab meat
• 2 tablespoons Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1/3 cup Whiskey
• 1/2 cup Heavy cream
• 1/2 cup Beef stock
• 1 tablespoon Crushed black peppercorns

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the crab stuffing by combining the lump crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a bowl. Mix well, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Pat the filet mignon steaks dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, make a small slit on the side of each steak to create a pocket for the stuffing.

4. Stuff each steak with the crab mixture, being careful not to overfill. Use toothpicks to secure the pocket if necessary.

5. Season the outside of the steaks with kosher salt and black pepper.

6. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks on both sides for 2-3 minutes until a golden crust forms.

7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the steaks to your desired doneness (about 6-8 minutes for medium-rare). Remove the steaks from the skillet, cover with foil, and let rest.

8. In the same skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the crushed black peppercorns and toast for 30 seconds.

9. Carefully pour in the whiskey and allow it to reduce by half, scraping the skillet to loosen any browned bits.

10. Add the beef stock and heavy cream, whisking to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.

11. Remove toothpicks from the steaks if used. Plate each filet mignon and spoon the whiskey peppercorn sauce over the top.

12. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
