Found on Allrecipes; submitted by Sue Z."Delicious Filet Mignon stuffed with succulent crab, wrapped in bacon and topped with whiskey-peppercorn sauce.

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! ;)

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your crab stuffed filet mignon will be. Look for fresh, wild-caught crab meat, and a well-marbled filet mignon steak.
- Don't overcook the steak. Filet mignon is a tender cut of meat, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
- Let the steak rest before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Be careful when stuffing the steak. You don't want to tear the meat, so be gentle when inserting the crab stuffing.
- Serve the steak immediately. Crab stuffed filet mignon is best enjoyed when it's hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Crab stuffed filet mignon is a delicious and elegant dish that's perfect for a special occasion. It's easy to make, but it looks and tastes like it came from a Michelin-starred restaurant. If you're looking for a show-stopping main course, this is it.
