Servings: persons

2 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups button mushrooms, quartered
1 cup porcini mushrooms, quartered
5 shallots peeled and finely chopped
1 small bunch parsley
2 slices sandwich bread, torn into pieces
puff pastry
1 egg yolk

1
Preheat the oven to 325F.
2
Heat the olive oil in a flameproof casserole dish.
3
Add the beef fillet and brown on all sides over high heat for 7 minutes, then remove from the dish and allow the beef to cool on a rack.
4
Season with salt and pepper.
5
Heat the butter in a frying pan and saute the mushrooms and shallot over medium heat, until all the water has been released.
6
Put the mushroom and shallot mixture with the parsley and bread into a food processor, and process to a fine stuffing.
7
Season with salt and pepper.
8
Spread the mushroom stuffing along the length of the filet.
9
Roll out the puff pastry to a length that will completely wrap around the beef filet.
10
Brush the edges of the pastry with egg yolk, then lay the beef filet on the pastry and wrap it up tightly like a parcel, pressing the seams together firmly and tucking the ends under.
11
Put the parcel seam-side down into the casserole dish, then brush all over with the remaining egg yolk.
12
Make a couple of vents in the pastry to allow steam to escape, then bake in the oven for 20 minutes, allow to rest, then slice and serve immediately.
