Makes 6 servings
Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 ounces liver pate
2 tablespoons butter, softened
salt and pepper to taste
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth
2 tablespoons red wine
Directions:
2 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 ounces liver pate
2 tablespoons butter, softened
salt and pepper to taste
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg yolk, beaten
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth
2 tablespoons red wine
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place beef
in a small baking dish, and spread with 2 tablespoons softened
butter. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until browned. Remove from
pan, and allow to cool completely. Reserve pan juices.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter
in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and mushrooms
in butter for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool.
3. Mix together pate and 2 tablespoons
softened butter, and season with salt and pepper. Spread pate
over beef. Top with onion and mushroom mixture.
4. Roll out the puff pastry dough,
and place beef in the center. Fold up, and seal all the edges,
making sure the seams are not too thick. Place beef in a 9x13
inch baking dish, cut a few slits in the top of the dough, and
brush with egg yolk.
5. Bake at 450 degrees F (230
degrees C) for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 425 degrees F
(220 degrees C) for 10 to 15 more minutes, or until pastry is
a rich, golden brown. Set aside, and keep warm.
6. Place all reserved juices
in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir in beef stock and red
wine; boil for 10 to 15 minutes, or until slightly reduced. Strain,
and serve with beef. |
