Cut a 2-inch horizontal incision in the center of each filet, being careful not to slice the steaks in half, to form a pocket for stuffing

Stuff equal parts of the mushroom dressing into each steak

11

Pour the coarse pepper onto a flat surface and roll the edges of the steaks on them to coat

12

Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each steak and fasten them with a toothpick to prevent them from slipping during cooking

Purple Potato Nest: Heat the oil at 350 degrees F in a fryer or large pot

Use a roto-slicer to cut the potatoes into 4 continuous noodle-like strands
