Crab-Stuffed Beef Tenderloin with Béarnaise Bliss


  • Author: Mia Martinez
  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the Filling:
⅓ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup oyster cracker crumbs
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan
1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
8 oz. canned premium or pasteurized lump crabmeat, drained
For the Beef:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
4 center-cut filet mignon steaks, 2-inches thick (8 oz. each), tied with kitchen string
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 recipe Béarnaise Sauce


Instructions

For the filling, combine mayonnaise, cracker crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, dry mustard, Old Bay, Worcestershire, and lemon juice. Gently fold in the crabmeat.
Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium-high until shimmering. Sear filets 5–6 minutes per side. Allow to cool on a rack for 15–20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
Cut an “X” into the top of each filet to create a pocket. Carefully expand the pocket by snipping the tips of the “X”.
Stuff 1–2 Tbsp. of filling into each pocket, then top each filet with about ⅓ cup more filling.
Roast on the prepared baking sheet for 20 minutes for rare. Let rest 5 minutes before serving with Béarnaise Sauce.
