Directions
- 1
Preheat oven to 200 °C (390 °F).
- 2
Season the filet mignon strips with Worcestershire sauce and salt. Sear in a hot skillet with a drizzle of oil until browned on the outside — they don't need to cook through at this stage.
- 3
In the same pan, sauté the onion slices with a splash of Worcestershire sauce and salt until softened and lightly golden.
- 4
Spread the meat strips in an even layer across the bottom of a baking dish.
- 5
Top with sautéed onions, followed by half the cream cheese and a layer of mozzarella.
- 6
Repeat the layers: meat, onions, cream cheese, and mozzarella.
- 7
Sprinkle dried oregano over the top and bake 15–20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve hot.
💡 Chef's Tip
Broil for the last 2 minutes to get an extra-crispy cheese crust. Sliced tomatoes scattered between layers add freshness and balance the richness.
