Crawfish Stuffed Filet Mignon With Crawfish Bordelaise Sauce

Ingredients

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add the onions and green onions, celery, bell peppers, and garlic and sautÈ for 1 minute. Add the crawfish tails, stock, bread crumbs, and 1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for at least 15 minutes. Makes 1 cup.
Prepare the Crawfish Bordelaise Sauce, and cover to keep warm.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning over the meat, using 1/2 teaspoon on each steak and inside its pocket. Use your hands to coat the meat thoroughly, inside and out.
Using a small sharp knife, cut a slit about 2 inches long onto the side of each steak and cut about 2 inches in to make a pocket. Stand the filets on their uncut edges and open the pockets. Using a spoon, fill each pocket with 1/4 cup of the cooled stuffing.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the filets and sautÈ until rare, for about 3 minutes on each side, or medium rare, for about 4 minutes on each side. If you like your meat well done, youíre on your own with the time.
To serve, place 1 filet on each of 4 dinner plates and cover with a generous 1/3 cup of the sauce.
