Filet Mignon Chesapeake

With a sharp knife, cut a deep slash into each steak.

Gently poach oysters in own liquid for 2-3 minutes. Insert several well-drained oysters into the "pocket" of each filet. Wrap slice of bacon around each steak and secure with toothpick. Brush each generously with butter; sprinkle with a small amount of pepper.

Place steaks in hot broiler, allow to sear, turn, then cook. For a 1 1/2" steak, cook 5 minutes each side for rare, 7 minutes each side for medium.
