4 beef tenderloin steaks
2 cups red wine
2 tablespoons garlic and herb dressing mix
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (4.5-ounce) jar marinated mushrooms, finely chopped
1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon Italian salad dressing mix
Fresh oregano sprigs

Steps:

Rinse steaks under cold water and pat dry. Place in zip-top bag and add red wine, dressing mix, and pepper. Squeeze air out of bag and seal. Gently massage bag to combine ingredients. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours
Set up grill for direct cooking over high heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking. In a medium bowl, combine chopped mushrooms, blue cheese, and Italian seasoning; set aside.
Remove steaks from marinade and discard marinade. With a sharp knife cut a pocket into the side of each steak, being careful not to cut through. Stuff steaks with mushroom mixture and secure with toothpicks. Place on hot, oiled grill and cook 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium (160 degrees F). Remove from grill.
To serve, remove toothpicks. Garnish steaks with sprigs of fresh oregano and serve hot.
