Stuffed Filet Mignon Bites Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse butter until whipped, and add salt and cheese. Pulse again just until incorporated. Dollop the compound butter towards 1 side of a piece of natural parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log, twisting opposite ways on both ends to create a tightly wrapped log of butter. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. (Can be stored up to 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 1 month in the freezer.) This could be made into 2 logs, as you will only need half this recipe for the steaks.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Once butter log is set, slice 1/2 the whole log into 1/4-inch disks. Cut a slit in the side of each fillet, and stuff with a butter disk. Tie each fillet with kitchen twine to keep it shape and sprinkle pepper each side.
• Add the olive oil to a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear each fillet until brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Move skillet into the preheated oven to cook to desired doneness. Put another disk of the compound butter on top of each fillet just about 3 minutes before removing from oven, to just begin to melt but not melted completely. Remove from the oven and place on serving plates. Eat and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter, add the shallot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sherry, dates, cranberries, thyme and sage and simmer until just dry, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Season the inside of the tenderloin with salt and pepper. Spread an even layer of the fruit and herb mixture over it, leaving about 1/2 inch of tenderloin around the edges. Top with a layer of the almonds. Roll tightly and tie with at least 4 pieces of butcher's twine (easier to cut and portion!).
• Place the loin on a wire-racked baking sheet and season the outside with salt and pepper. Cook until the center of the tenderloin registers 120 to 125 degrees F, about 2 hours.
• In a large skillet, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat until just foaming. Place the loin in the skillet and sear on all sides until evenly crusty and brown, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Garnish with minced chives and serve with horseradish sauce.

Steps:

• Slice the steaks into 1/2-inch wide strips. Pound the strips to about half their original thickness. Place the steak in a bowl; pour the Italian dressing over the meat; allow to marinate at least 2 hours.
• Mix together the cream cheese and jalapeno pepper in a bowl; set aside. Remove the strips from the marinade and lay out on a flat surface. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on each strip.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Remove the strips from the marinade and lay on a flat surface. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on each strip. Fold the meat around the cream cheese mixture to form a ball. Wrap each ball with a slice of bacon. Secure bacon with water-soaked toothpicks or metal skewers.
• Cook on preheated grill until steak is no longer pink, about 4 minutes per side.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the crabmeat, cheese, onion and butter., Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Cut a horizontal slit through each steak to within 1/2 in. of the opposite side, forming a pocket. Fill with 1/2 cup crab mixture. Secure with kitchen string if necessary., Broil 4 in. from the heat for 7-9 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place steaks on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle with pepper; top with butter. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Cool slightly; refrigerate until chilled., Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 14x9-1/2-in. rectangle. Cut out two 7-in. squares, reserving scraps. , Rub steaks with garlic and top with cheese; place steaks, cheese side down, in the center of each pastry square. Lightly brush pastry edges with egg. Bring opposite corners of pastry over steaks; pinch seams to seal tightly. Place seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Cut small slits in top of pastry; brush with egg., Using lightly floured small cookie cutters, cut out shapes from reserved pastry. Arrange over wrapped steaks; brush shapes with egg., Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°)., In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients.
