Individual Beef Wellingtons

"Serve these with a Bearnaise sauce. Mmm!"

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup dry sherry
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 6 (8 ounce) fillets beef tenderloin
• 1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed

  DIRECTIONS

• In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the mushrooms, onion, sherry, butter or margarine and parsley and saute until all the liquid is absorbed and the mixture resembles a paste. Cover the top of each steak with the mixture.
• Partially thaw the puff pastry sheets and roll out pieces thin enough to cover the top, sides and bottom of each steak. Place the steaks on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until serving time.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bake steaks uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. (Note: They will be rare but will continue cooking while dish is sitting.)
