Cut a slit about 2 inches long into side of each steak; cut about 2 inches in to make a pocket. Stand filets on their uncut edges and open pockets. Sprinkle remaining seasoning over meat; pat seasoning on steak and inside pocket. Using a spoon, fill each pocket with ¼ cup stuffing.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet and sear filets.

For rare, cook about 3 minutes on each side; for medium-rare, cook about 4 minutes on each side. Top with Bordelaise sauce.
