Taste of Home Healthy Cooking - Crab-Stuffed Filet Mignon

From the December/January 2010 Issue

1/2 cup lump crabmeat, drained
2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp. chopped green onion
1 tsp. butter, melted
2 beef tenderloin steaks (6 oz. each)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

1. In a small bowl, combine the crabmeat, cheese, onion and butter. Sprinkle steaks with salt & pepper. Cut a horizontal slit through each steak to within 1/2 inch of the opposite side, forming a pocket. Fill with 1/2 cup crab mixture. Secure with kitchen string if necessary.

2. Broil 4 inch from the heat for 7-9 min on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium rare, a meat thermometer should read 145; medium, 160; well-done, 170). Let stand for 5 min before serving.
