ingredients
- 3 1⁄2 lbs beef tenderloin fillets
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- basil
- 1 package garlic and harbs boursin cheese
- 8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
- 1 lb puff pastry sheet (thawed)
- flour
- 1 large egg white (beaten)
- 1 large egg yolk (beaten with 1 teaspoon water)
- extra virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Season roast with salt, pepper, garlic powder and basil to taste.
- On a rack, in an uncovered roasting pan, roast filet in middle of oven for 30 to 45 minutes or longer, until a thermometer registers 120 degrees.
- Allow filet to cool completely and discard larding fat and strings if strings are there.
- Meanwhile, saute the garlic and mushrooms in the olive oil until carmelized.
- Drain mushrooms and garlic and mix with boursin cheese.
- Let mixture chill while waiting for beef to cool. Drink a glass of wine.
- Once beef is cooled completely, spread the chilled boursin-mushroom mixture all around it.
- On a floured surface, roll the 1 lb. of puff pastry into a rectangle large enough to enclose the filet completely, which should be about 20 x 12 inches.
- Invert the coated filet very carefully onto the middle of the dough and fold up the long sides of the dough to enclose the filet.
- With your finger you can make criss-cross grooves in the dough as a decoration.
- Brush the edges of the dough with egg white to seal.
- Repeat with the ends of the dough.
- Transfer the filet, seam down, to a jelly roll pan or a shallow roasting pan and brush with egg wash.
- Chill for 1 hour, but not more than 2 hours. Drink another glass of wine.
- Make sure that oven is preheated to 400 degrees and bake the filet in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 5 to 10 minutes longer, or until a meat thermometer registers 130 degrees for medium-rare.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Hi!! My name is Peggy and I am currently residing in Wood River, IL. My husband and I are just starting our lives together, and just bought our first house together! I love to be Susie Homemaker when I have time. My favorite part is making irresistable meal combinations that perfectly balances the meat, starch, and veggie. I should upgrade to premium so I can post some!!
Other than that, I am an IT by profession, working on computer networks, software, user support, etc.
I'm also in college getting my Bachelor's and Master's in the same field.
One last thing, I LOVE my kitty cats! I have three: Milo, Buss, and Wurly, and they are the best kitties in the world!
I hope you enjoy my recipes and I always enjoy reviews and pictures! Hopefully more recipes (and menus!) coming soon!
