  • Remove steak, season with salt and pepper and bring to room temp.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Add all ingredients to the food processor or blender and pulse for 30 seconds to combine and lightly break down the ingredients.
  • Butterfly the steak by slicing in half widthwise and stopping before slicing all the way through. You can then pound steak lightly with a meat mallet.

  • Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium high heat.
  • Spread pepper onto a plate. Roll the steak in fresh cracked pepper.
  • Sear for 2 minutes per side
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
