CRAB-STUFFED FILET MIGNON WITH WHISKEY PEPPERCORN SAUCE
Found on Allrecipes; submitted by Sue Z."Delicious Filet Mignon stuffed with succulent crab, wrapped in bacon and topped with whiskey-peppercorn sauce. Time consuming, but just as good, if not better than any high-end restaurant recipe." Make it we did and it was awesome! We made a few slight changes; personal preference!. Make the sauce the day ahead, it is too time consuming and is best out of the way. However, it IS worth the effort! It was fantastic! ;)

Steps:
- For the filets: Heat the oven to 250 degrees F. Spray a wire rack fitted into a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium pot, heat the black, green and pink peppercorns and 5 tablespoons of the oil over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until you see tiny bubbles, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool. Stir the salt into the pepper mixture to form a paste.
- Dip each filet all around in the peppercorn paste and place on the prepared sheet pan. Place in the oven to reverse sear until the internal temperature hits 120 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the first side of the filets until a very dark golden crust forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and repeat. Remove from the skillet and let rest on the wire-racked sheet pan, lightly tented with foil, for 5 minutes.
- For the crab au poivre: While the filets are cooking, coarsely crush the black peppercorns with either a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a heavy frying pan. Set aside.
- In a large saute pan, heat the butter and oil over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the shallots and garlic and season with salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add the cognac and cook, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan, until it has almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the stock, chile paste, Dijon, thyme, the reserved crushed peppercorns, 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cream and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently stir in the crabmeat. Fold in the chives and parsley. Serve atop steaks.

Tips:
- For the crab stuffing: Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to mix the crab stuffing ingredients together gently so as not to break up the crab meat.
- When wrapping the filet mignon with the crab stuffing, be careful not to overstuff it. The stuffing should be evenly distributed around the tenderloin.
- Cook the filet mignon to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook it for about 5-6 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook it for about 6-7 minutes per side.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- For the whiskey peppercorn sauce: Use a good quality whiskey for the best flavor. A bourbon or rye whiskey will work well.
- Be sure to toast the peppercorns before using them. This will bring out their flavor.
- When making the sauce, be careful not to boil it. This will cause the alcohol in the whiskey to evaporate and the sauce will lose its flavor.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Conclusion:
Crab stuffed filet mignon with whiskey peppercorn sauce is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tenderloin is juicy and flavorful, the crab stuffing is rich and creamy, and the whiskey peppercorn sauce is the perfect finishing touch. This dish is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
