Saute bacon in a skillet over medium heat until fat is rendered but bacon is not yet crisp, about 3 minutes. Stir in flour and tomato paste; cook until mixture darkens slightly, about 3 more minutes.

Stir in broth and shrimp; simmer until thickened, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and Tabasco. Cool, then stuff filets.

Tie filets, as shown on right; pat dry with paper towels and season. Sear steaks in oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cooling rack; cut pockets in filets, as shown on right.

Stuff steaks with filling as on right. (Stuffed filets may be covered with plastic and chilled for up to 24 hours. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting.)

Pulse bread and parsley in a food processor until crumbly. Sprinkle on top of stuffed filets just before finishing in the oven. Preheat oven to 400°. Roast filets on a rack for 20-30 minutes. Let rest, then remove strings before serving. Shown here served with Béarnaise Sauce.
