Stuffed fillet steak tips
The bacon, onions, and mushrooms will get nice and crisp if you add some butter, which is a great flavour enhancer in general. With the addition of celery and spring onion, the steak and sauce become a bit more balanced. Crispy bacon bits fried separately add crunch and can be used as a garnish alongside additional fresh spring onion. Accompany your steak with a roast potato side, some creamed spinach, and garlic bread for a complete meal.
This weekend is perfect for whipping up a special treat for loved ones. This fillet steak stuffed with bacon, mushrooms, and onions is not to be missed.
