Beef Tenderloin Steaks Stuffed With Morels

This is a gourmet quality dinner that's excellent when served with a good French Beaujolais. I love it with steamed artichokes and risotto.

Type: Meat, Vegetables
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 1/2 oz 71gDried morel mushrooms - (to 3)
  Olive oil - as needed
6 tablespoons 90mlMinced shallots
2   Garlic cloves - minced fine
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
2 teaspoons 10mlFresh thyme
4   Beef tenderloins, abt 1 1/2" thick - - (abt 6 oz ea)
  Fresh rosemary sprigs - for garnish

Recipe Instructions

Chop the rehydrated mushrooms, the shallots, and the garlic. Over medium heat using a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add the shallots and the garlic and saute for about one minute. Add the mushrooms and saute for an additional five minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, cool, and add the fresh thyme.

Cut small slits or "pockets" in the side of each steak. Push about 1/4 of the mushroom dressing into each pocket. You may want to secure these pockets with toothpicks.

Salt and pepper the steaks on both sides. Melt butter over medium-high in a skillet and sear the steaks for about five to six minutes on each side. Make sure they don't stick to the pan. When they've been seared and cooked to your preference, place each steak on an individual dinner plate and garnish with rosemary.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
