Stuffed Fillet Steak with Cream Cheese & Garlic Butter Potatoes

Tender beef fillet steaks get a fun twist—stuffed with cream cheese and herbs—then pan-seared and served with crispy garlic butter baby potatoes and a side of green beans. It’s an easy, impressive dinner that works for both adults and kids, and it takes less than 40 minutes!

Ingredients (Serves 4):

For the Steaks

• 4 fillet steaks (125–150g each)

• 100g cream cheese (plain or herbed)

• 1 tsp dried mixed herbs (or fresh parsley)

• Salt and black pepper

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp butter

For the Garlic Butter Potatoes

• 600g baby potatoes, halved

• 2 tbsp butter

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Side Veg (Optional)

• 200g green beans or broccoli

• 1 tsp olive oil

• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes
   Boil halved baby potatoes in salted water for 10–12 minutes until soft. Drain, then toss them in a hot pan with butter and garlic. Fry for 5–6 minutes until golden.

2. Stuff the Steaks
   Use a sharp knife to cut a small pocket in the side of each steak. Mix cream cheese with herbs, then spoon it into each pocket. Lightly press closed.

3. Cook the Steaks
   Season steaks with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add a knob of butter during the last minute for flavor. Rest the steaks for 5 minutes.

4. Cook the Veg
   While the steaks rest, quickly sauté or steam the green beans for 3–4 minutes until tender. Season with a little salt.

Seasoning & Serving:

Serve each fillet steak alongside a pile of golden garlic butter potatoes and a helping of green beans and spoon any leftover pan juices over the steak. Garnish with extra chopped parsley or a crack of black pepper, and enjoy!
