Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Trim any fat from the steaks, sprinkle with pepper, spread tops of each with 1 tablespoon butter. In shallow roasting pan, (I use my metal 13x9-inch cake pan), bake in preheated oven, buttered side up, at 425ºF. for 10 minutes. Place in fridge until cold. I pop it right into the fridge and set the pan on a dish towel. Roll out puff pastry a little and cut in half. Spread steaks with garlic, top with cheese. Place cheese side down onto center of pastry squares, fold pastry over, moisten edges and seal well. Place seam-side down onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Prick top with a fork, cover with plastic wrap, and re-chill for 1 hour. Beat egg with oil, and brush pastry with it. Bake in center of preheated 425ºF oven for 25 minutes for medium-rare. Less if your steaks are thinner or prefer rare. Longer if you prefer medium. Serve with sour cream horseradish sauce if desired. Note: If you have a tiny bit of extra pastry, roll with your hands into a long rope, cut in half and use to make a design on top of each before baking and basting. Prep time does not include chilling time.
FILLET OF BEEF IN PUFF PASTRY WITH SAUCE MADEIRA
Steps:
- In a large skillet, over high heat, saute tournedos in 3 tablespoons butter for 30 seconds on each side. Set aside to cool completely.
- In the same skillet, with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, cook shallots and mushrooms until all liquid evaporates. Add cream, salt and pepper. Reduce over moderate heat to a thick puree. Cool.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Divide pastry into 6 equal portions. On a lightly floured board, roll out each portion to a rectangle approximately 6 by 12 inches and 1/4 inch thick. Place each tournedo on one side of a pastry rectangle, leaving enough room to fold over.
- Top each tournedos with mushroom puree. Brush edges of the pastry with egg wash and then fold it over and shape it to the contours of the meat. Cut away excess pastry and decorate as desired.
- Glaze the tops of the pastry with egg wash.
- Bake the tournedos 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Arrange each tournedo on a heated plate and garnish with watercress. Nap the sauce Madeira around the tournedos.
- In a saucepan, bring Madeira, shallots, and thyme to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until only 1/3 cup remains. Add the stock; continue to reduce, over medium heat, until slightly thickened. Whisk in the butter. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Yield: Makes about 1 cup

(Filet Mignon in Puff Pastry) I prefer not to eat out on Valentine's Day, hate fighting the crowds, the noise, the usually bad service because the restaurant is jam packed, the expense...could I have a little cheese with my "whine"? LOL! Here's what I made for the main course last year, and it was to DIE for. Almost too pretty to eat....almost! Enjoy!!! *Prep-time does not include chilling time.

Tips:
- To ensure the best results, use high-quality ingredients, especially for the puff pastry and the beef tenderloin.
- Make sure the beef tenderloin is at room temperature before cooking, as this will help it cook evenly.
- For a more flavorful filling, marinate the beef tenderloin for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- When searing the beef tenderloin, be sure to get a good sear on all sides, as this will help develop flavor and color.
- To prevent the puff pastry from becoming too soggy, brush it with an egg wash before baking.
- For a golden brown crust, brush the puff pastry with melted butter or olive oil before baking.
- Serve the filet mignon in puff pastry immediately after baking, while the pastry is still warm and flaky.
Conclusion:
Filet mignon in puff pastry is a classic dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and always impresses guests. With its tender, juicy beef tenderloin wrapped in a flaky, golden brown puff pastry, this dish is sure to be a hit.
