EMERIL’S CREOLE SEASONING
CRAWFISH BORDELAISE SAUCE
From Emeril Lagasse
In a sauté pan, over medium heat and heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and peppers.
Season the vegetables with salt and cayenne. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add shellfish and continue to sauté for 2 minutes. Add the green onions, garlic and parsley. Sauté for 1 minute.
Remove the mixture from the heat and turn into a mixing bowl. Cool the mixture for 2 minutes. Add the egg, bread crumbs and cheese and mix well.
Set aside.
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each beef fillet about 1¾ inches deep and 2 inches long. Season each fillet, outside and in the pocket, with Creole Seasoning. Stuff each fillet with ¼ cup of the shellfish mixture. Press the filling firmly into the pockets.
In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, heat the oil. Sear the fillets for 4 minutes on the first side, being careful not to char them. Turn the fillets over and continue to sear the other side for 4 minutes for medium rare. To serve, mound the potatoes in the center of each plate. Lay the fillet over the potatoes. Spoon the sauce over each fillet and garnish with green onions.
