Cream Cheese Stuffed Steak Wrapped in Bacon

Cream Cheese Stuffed Steak Wrapped in Bacon is a mouthwatering dish that combines the richness of cream cheese with the savory flavors of steak and bacon. The beef steaks, such as ribeye or New York strip, are carefully cut to create pockets for the cream cheese stuffing. The cream cheese is mixed with minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper, and then generously stuffed into each steak. The steaks are then wrapped in bacon slices, which add a crispy and smoky touch. After a quick sear in a skillet to crisp up the bacon, the stuffed steaks are baked in the oven to reach the desired level of doneness. Once cooked, the steaks are allowed to rest, and then they are ready to be enjoyed. With each serving containing only 2g of carbohydrates, this dish is not only delicious but also keto-friendly.

Ingredients

  • 4 beef steaks such as ribeye or New York Strip
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Make a lengthwise incision in each steak, creating a pocket for the stuffing. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  • In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Stuff each steak with a quarter of the cream cheese mixture, dividing it evenly among the pockets.
  • Wrap a slice of bacon around each stuffed steak, securing it with toothpicks if needed.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Carefully place the stuffed steaks in the skillet and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the bacon begins to crisp.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the steaks reach your desired level of doneness.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest for a few minutes.
  • Remove the toothpicks and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
