Carpetbagger Steak
Ingredients:
– 4 beef tenderloin steaks, about 1 inch thick
– 12 fresh oysters, shucked
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Begin by preparing the stuffing for the steaks. In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
3. Take each shucked oyster and place one on the edge of each steak, then spoon a generous amount of the breadcrumb mixture over each oyster.
4. Carefully fold the steaks in half to enclose the oysters and breadcrumb mixture, creating a seal with toothpicks to secure the stuffing inside.
5. Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed steaks to the skillet and sear each side until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and continue to cook the steaks for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.
7. Once cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Carefully remove the toothpicks from the steaks before plating. Serve the Carpetbagger Steaks hot, and enjoy the flavorful combination of tender beef, juicy oysters, and savory stuffing.
